Close 2nd though, the 1271 Viper.
See, if you keep your collection slimmed down to the ones you play a lot, it's easy. |

Location: Michigan | I've only a couple to choose from but have played quite a few. My 1767 legend plays like butter and I love the even tone...so that would be it. It plays so easy some of my songs actually sound OK. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Depends what criteria you apply ...
the best sounding
the most valuable
the one you play the most
the one with sentimental value
the one most difficult to replace
Some contenders ...
1. The OFC Guitar. In addition to being one of the finest guitars they ever built, I know the Blood Sweat (and Tears) that Al put into these OFC guitars and will forever be grateful that he had the stamina to see the project through.
2. Alpep KOA 12-Fret. I had a role in this that only Al is aware of. 'nuf said, but it makes owning s/n 01 all the more special to me.
3. Slothead 47RI #47. The "other" s/n 47. |

And yes, by its very nature the question requires analysis and introspection. Otherwise, an answer would be a knee-jerk response, and therefore probably wrong. This question's been asked before, usually in the "what would you grab in a fire" form. Those with multiple Os and As have them because each brings something unique to the stable. To have to chose one, and only one, requires thought. |

Location: Seymour, Tennessee | Hands down my 86 Deluxe Balladeer.
My dad gave it to me when I was 17 and he was killed a year later in a car crash.
he usd this guitar to help put food on the table when he and my Mom were starting out and when I was a baby.
It is my most prized possession and I can say I'm lucky to have a neat thing or two laying around the house (for instance a sword my Grandfather brought back from Japan that was made between 1320 and 1360).
If the house was going up in smoke, after the wife and kids (crazy-ass dog included) the 68 would be the thing I'd grab. |

Location: SoCal | Either the 87C because it's the best all around guitar (bling, acoustic sound, plugged in sound), or the rebuilt Legend (best acoustic sound) altho' it has no p/u. I'd start using a condenser mic with it. It's that good... |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | The 1587 Black Adamas I Cutaway is probably the best all around guitar I have, but I have a particular fondness for the 1581-8 Blue Adamas II that I am currently upgrading. It seems to have a kind of "mojo" about it, and the big bottom end is incomparible. So ... I can't really decide between the two. |
