Location: Scotland | Mostly Weissenborn and Lap Steel, along with the book mando, EA65 nylon Viper and '68 GC12, occasionally the EA68. Occasionally my 1581, the "ResOvation" and very occasionally my Custom Folklore. Oh yeah, and a De Gregorio Cajon. Next few gigs I'm going to try my new 1773-LX instead of the nylon Viper. |

Location: Chicago | My regular has been the '74 Legend (1117) with Fishman "PREfix Pro" pickup. I have now added the Adamas 1581-5 that nicely matches Jeff's Elite (sort of a black-and-white look). We play through the Bose L-1 with a Fishman Loudbox as a monitor, if necessary. Jeff has his Roland synth going most of the time, so it is a complex sound! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I forgot to add amps. 95% of the time I use an AAD Cub as a monitor off the pedal board with an XLR also out of the pedals to the house board. On the rare occasions that I need more amp, I have been using a Deluxe Reverb for electric and a Trace Elliott TA100R for acoustic, although I now intend to use a Genz Pro picked up late last year in place of the Trace. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I just use house sound at church, with my Tac EKK19C mostly (since my 1547's back in CT again due to UPS trouble...), and my C756LX 12 for unplugged acoustic stuff. I've been tinkering with the VXT at home through my Boss pedals on a modded Fender Blues JR Blonde.
At home my practice time has been mostly on a '79 1617-1 Legend. Sweet 'ol playing guitar. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | I play 2nd guitar at the weekend gatherings at our church.
Always my 1115 with newly-installed-by-me OpPro w/XLR and K&K P/U's. I use the XLR direct to the board. The sound system is over-the-top wonderful and the sound guy knows what he's doing. We even have custom-fitted in-ear monitors. It's all very easy for me as far as the nuts 'n bolts are concerned. I can concentrate on playing and worshiping.

Location: Marlton, NJ | The service I play at is almost comedic. When I started, I was sharing an amp with the bass player... the amp faces directly into the side of the piano. I decided to get my own amp.
Last sunday they brought a harp... she now sits directly in front of me. Last night at practice, the bass player brought an upright bass... also in front of me. I might as well just bring a cardboard cutout of myself and leave it there. At least my amp is up on a stand above the fray. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | IF, and that's a double capital extra underlined BIG IF, I had to play a gig I would grab either of the following:
Ovation CL Wideneck w/ OP-Pro
Tak TNV760 OM cutaway w/ Cool Tube
Both are super easy to play, comfortable, and have great electronics. I have "better" instruments but I wouldn't want to schlep them around to gigs.

Vic Don't think there aren't Legend lovers out here. Soon, I hope, I'm either going to have a 1117 built for me (acoustic only Legend, A braced), or more likely, send my old 78, crap sounding Legend back to the factory and have a whole new A braced body put on the old neck.
IMHO, A braced Legends are just great guitars.... |

| I'm with Tupp - If I gigged, I'd use my 1619 and 1537 interchangeably about 2/3 of the time, and my TNV340S for he rest. |

Location: enid, ok | Is this another one of those "acoustic only" questions? As Alice Cooper once pointed out, it's all "buckskin and granola".
My weapon of choice is a plank, but I do enjoy playing it, and it's easily replaced, which my Ovation is not; anymore, it rarely leaves the house.
I use a Fernandes Revolver Pro, a factory-second that I picked off feebay a few years back for $208, another $105 to make the neck playable, 2 humbuckers, a 3-spring Floyd, and the sustainer circuit in it. The pickups are nothing special, but with the sustainer it HOWLS! Old school all-tube Dean Markley 40 watt amp (hey, they were on sale!), a slew of analog and 3 digital pedals of my choosing, pick is optional-anymore, I can get by without one. I even have an ebow. If I find a note I like, I can make it last infinitely! |

Location: big island | i gig mostly with my adamas 1688 12 stringer. its quality of sound really enhances the hawaiian/hapa haole style music my trio plays. one of my band mates switches between his ukulele and the almansa thin body classical guitar i sold him. the other plays bass and we all sing. we have gotten several unexpected gigs over the past three weeks and it has been good fun. i usually play the takamines at church as it is inland and away from the shoreline.
our trio plays through either of two PA systems we own, a yamaha and a mackie.
for small venue/wedding solo gigs, i use my 1688 plugged into a marshall AS80R amp, which also handles my microphone and the occasional drum machine.
gabby pahinui and roland cazimero were both very influential in some traditional but mostly contemporary local style music. they both played 12 stringers, a martin for gabby and an adamas and a custom for roland. so the 1688 lends a very "nahenahe" (sweet) and familiar sound to many of the songs we perform |

Location: 6 String Ranch | For my church services at the Frickin Mermaid on wednesdays over the last 4 weeks I've used the Tak360Blewgrass, National Resolectric, Tak460, and 1581-P #3000, through the house PA.
For my church service on Friday nights at O'Kanes bar with Davis I use the EF460, through the house PA.
On Sunday mornings I go to the golf course. I hear the Lord's name used a lot there and his son as well, including his middle name. |
