Location: Scotland | let's re-interpret the question a little.... Just one guitar for fingerstyle in standard tuning, just one for fingerstyle in open tuning. Oh, I got good at that tuning so just one for a different open tuning, just one for strumming, just one for slide, just one lap guitar, just one for the beach, just one for the drunken jam-sessions, just one back-up guitar for each of those others, just one 12-string, just one mandolin, just one acoustic bass. Oh yeah, that was fun so just one electric bass. And an amp for it.....
Now see what you've started? |

Location: Location Location Location | My current favorite is the mint, unplayed, 1981 Balladeer that I bought from a fellow OFC member a couple of months ago. It seems to be in a hurry to open up, being 27 yrs. old and unplayed, and it seems to be doing so at a galloping speed. |

Location: Scotland | I own 5 lap steel guitars. I justify that by the fact that 2 are acoustic and 3 are electric, and I use way more than 5 tunings, so I actually need some more. That argument does not hold water when your life-partner needs something frivolous like a sofa or a dishwasher or clothes. I've tried to play a sofa and it sounds terrible. |

But there are a lot that I would like to sample. to me the best looking ovation of all time!! |

Location: PDX | A McCollum Meghann Guitar. My teacher has one and it is, hands down, the best sounding and playable guitar i've ever had the pleasure playing.
Yep, one of those and i'd be quite satisfied.
I only play fingerstyle and only rarely play alternate tunings, rarely play slide, not interested in a lap guitar, hate the beach, don't do drunken jam-sessions, not fond of the sound of a 12-string, can't play the mandolin, or the bass.
So yeah, just that one would do.

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I have my one--my Gertrude, hands down. There may be prettier (like my Jewel), more masculine (like the 2080), louder (like a 1537), more balanced (like an original slothead), attention-getting (like one of those flashy white Melissa Etherbridge models), smoother (like my Tornado)--but I will never love another guitar like I love her.
Oh, from time to time one will come along to inspire a momentary rumble of GAS, and I may think on the Adamas I would have if I could, but no other guitar speaks to me the way she does.

Right now I'd say My OM-18V for a 6 string and the 1758 for a 12 string. |
