Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | If that were enacted I would ensure that my wife and kids would also have one each (of which I'd select for them). I'd have the 08C and the wife would have the 09C, my son would have the Adamas II, each of my daughters would have the following; 07C, Custom Legend and the Cedar-topped Elite ... and there's the grand kids and the dog who would each be able to choose one at my suggestion. |

(I probably should have done a search. This has probably been asked 100 times and I'm just another newbie doofus) I'd bring an Application before the Court to have the law struck down as unconstitutional and then I'd make you pay my legal fees..lol |

Location: PDX | I hate tuning guitars. So, i need one for standard tuning, one for DADGAD, one for Drop D, one for Open G and one for Open D. That's non-negotiable no matter what fantasy situation you dream up.
I could answer the question if it was which five guitars would you keep -- for now.
Oh, and none of them happen to be Ovations at the moment.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I agree with Greg. I just haven't decided which ones to use for the alternate tunings. Plus 2 for each daughter, although one of each somehow ended up back here. Plus a couple electrics I don't know what to do with and a 12 string. |

I'll stick with a 1911 and a national if I had to choose just 1 (guitar). |

And if it did, I would start the Guitar Militia.

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think this "one guitar" question comes up about every 3 months and seems every time I give a different answer based upon my faborite at that time. Would be interesting to do a search and trace my meandering preferences ...
Anyway, for the last 6 months or so I've been really into the Guild D40 Bluegrass Jubilee so if you pinned me to the wall and tickled my nipples with burning matches I wouldhave to choose that one. |

Location: Flahdaw | Okay, I'm a newbiedoofus and this has been asked 100 times.
I was just curious because I could live with one guitar for the rest of my life and be perfectly content. I'd prefer my Everett but could swing it with my old Takamine or my Ovation...but not my G&L tele. I was just wondering about you dudes with 987 guitars how you would narrow it down to the ONE. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Go back and figure out how many different ways some of us have answered this question. When I first joined, the 1537 was the rage, so I'm sure I would have said "1537" at some point. I really liked the sound of the Folklore and still do, so I probably identified that. Then the 87C, then the 04, and so on. Tastes change, so the answers will probably change each time the question gets asked. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Now we have you going the right direction. It was really tough for me to like something better than an almost mint 1977 Folklore for $300, but I have to admit that I'm influenced by cheap more than I'm influenced by expensive. |
