Forget your wife and kids, important papers, pets, computer, mandolins, dobros, b@nj#*, wood back guitars and whatever else is irreplaceable, they are all safe outside the flames, I am talking about your Ovation and Adamas guitars!

Which one would you grab if the house was on fire?

Only one.

Me?. . . my good old Adamas II...

Well I only have the one Ovation so that pretty much solves that - I wish I had your problems though - house burning down and having to decide which guitar to take with me and so on - but wait, I'm worth more dead than alive to maybe the question is moot in my case - I'd just stay and go down with the ship...lol

The OFC. I could probably replace the rest, except maybe the Ute, for what it's worth. I have 2 hands though, so I'd grab the Ute, too.

I should say the Honey Burst Pacemaker, since it is the most expensive, or the Sweetwater T cuz it is one of 16 or so...

But probably the 2058T, and a battery-powered amp.

Play music while my building burns!

this is a tough one. if my wife was going to read this, i'd say the 1688 she surprised me with. but i play 6 stringers much more frequently than 12's so i would take the 1978 1687-9. mark does have a point as most of us have two hands...

Like what the Man in Black said, OFC. If I could with my second hand, I'd grab my GC DB. Both couldn't be replaced. But then I'd also have my wife grab the old 1914 Martin 0018, a family heirloom (I know, that should be first, but in reality, it's not).....

MY HOUSE IS BURNING.... That's an easy one. My 08 Collector is still with the UPS, I have my 2080 insured for more than I paid for it, so it burns (since I am selling it anyway and it is replacable) so my 1537....oh....second hand is free? Also the Carvin LB75P...it is just too sweet of a bass to leave behind, although it would likely survive the fire it is so 'COOL'

I'm with the others...the OFC guitar, but then I'd be a total wreck worrying about all the others. Possessions are so burdensome.

Leave the gun, take the Cannoli.


Probably the 1778T. That little black beauty has that magic something, and can do it all.

Tough one ... my left hand would grab the "Ding!"-O and the right would grab the JL3. No wait, the Hog Viper and the Deacon 12. Check that, the shiny Josh and the shiny Balladeer 12. Nah, gotta be the Dingo. Or the Lennon. But I love the Viper. I guess it would just depend on the day.

After helping you load your truck, Damon, I would think you'd have trouble just finding the guitar if you were able to decide on one.
By the way, was everything in the equipment bag that I dropped OK?

...I'd throw some wire and a piece of wood into my wife's Tupperware stash and then put in an Insurance claim to replace that irreplacable Original Slothead that was destroyed!.....

We are owned by our possessions. The fire is cleansing, releasing you from unnatural bonds to this world.

Come, feel the warmth. Step closer.

Here, hold the matches. I'll be right back...

I don't know about you guys - but I think I can squeeze four guitars into 2 hands....

The Captains Deacon, The 47, The Millennium and The Strat.

The rest I would toss out the window and hope someone catches them!

I'd grab the OFC Koala. Then I'd probably die in the fire trying to decide which other one to take.

I'd use the Academy as a heat shield.

Since I work on thier fire trucks,it had better never come to that! :eek: However if it did, I think the factory fresh 1537 I got from the "trader" would be first out the door. :rolleyes:
