Since this is a CF forum channel, I would pick my Rainsong WS-1000 over any of the wood guitars that we own. There might be one or two wood guitars out there somewhere that I would choose (and we own several really nice ones) but I am quite happy with the RS. If I could only have one guitar.

Good choices, I'd go Jumbo BI but totally agree on the 714.

I Would have to agree with Earl49
I love the sound of each of my guitars but my rainsong H-WS1000N2T is the most practical solution for all of my guitar needs. It travels well, sounds great, looks cool and it is worry free. I would miss my Stonebridge G23 and my martin D-18.

Heresy! How could you not pick the Doubleneck? That's would be a great "only" guitar, seeing how it's really two guitars in one.

You make a good point, I will never sell either guitar. The Rainsong JM1000 to me is just a totally uncompromised booming 6. The Doubleneck by nature has some compromises and many advantages as well. Luckily I can have both.

It would hurt, but I'd have to stick with a small-bodied all-mahogany.

I like the low maintenance aspect of CF too much.
CA Vintage Performer ?
Yes, i second that ! ... ... ... or i'll have seconds ... ... ...
Can i have two of the same guitar, as the only guitar ?

Ted,

Very humble choice to pick the 714ce. Absolutely a fine pick but with your access to countless number of Taylors that have come through your hands, I would have thought you'd chosen a freakin' looking BTO with all the bells and whistles

I pretty much only own one guitar anyway. Unless I play one of my Daughter's guitars....
