If you could only keep one of your guitars

[DenverSteve]

Ahhh, the monthly "which one would you...." . If my life was coming down around me that quickly, a guitar would be the last thing on my mind. Family, photos, documents....

I got an OM on Friday and it's the most comfortable and easiest guitar to play I've ever had. It's quite extraordinary how comfortably it fits me.

In the future I don't think I'll ever buy a different size.

This one is Silver Oak back and sides so it doesn't have the rosewood resonance and depth (which I really like) but as a guitar for accompanying a singer it's pretty much perfect. I'm still at the stage where I'm surprised how good it feels every time I pick it up.

It's not real Steve. It's a game.

In the spirit of the OP, I’d say my Bourgeois Signature OM Adi/Madrose. It’s my do everything extremely well, desert island guitar.

Depends on the day/week/month, today it's the Southern Jumbo

Of my 5 guitars (one is on consignment), my two custom made guitars are my favorites- Wingert E rosewood and Kramer Prairie Grass mahogany. I love playing both immensely. One is a 12 fret cutaway and the other a 14 fret non cutaway. Apples and oranges so one really isn’t better than the other. If a life depended on my grabbing just one, it would probably be the Kramer because it is the lighter of the two.
Good thing this is only a game here because I am just getting ready to get them both out, change strings, and play the heck outta both of ‘em!
Best,
Jayne

Love it, Paul. Beautiful Madi...

Really can't do it.

My "favorites" for composing/playing are my Avalon, Larrivee/Guild and my Cordoba. For picking the blues I like my Gibson and Martin.

I'm not a one guitar kind of guy.

Well....... since it's just a game......... whichever was closest, cased and ready to jump with.. either my Kinnaird OM deep body as it's one of a kind or my Goodall GC as it's my most versatile/gigging guitar.

Exactly. For me,today it’s the Martin 00015 SM

[Skip Ellis]

My Sitka/mahogany Brook Torridge by a nose over my Martin 000-18 - it would be a touch choice.

[mawmow]

Mmmmmm....
Martin OOO-18... or Gibson L-OO TV... or Taylor 322 ???

It would have to be 2 - one electric and one acoustic - and that is a 000-15m and a telecaster. Both go extremely quiet for home use which is important to me. As much as I love rosewood, the wide dynamic range and touch responsiveness produces more volume and overtones than is acceptable where I live.
