If you were on a desert island, and had only one(1) guitar to play, which one would it be?
If you're a Uke player, that's a different island, you can't play on this one.
Haven't seen too much email traffic lately on the TP, thought I'd throw something in.

Ok, Andy, I gotta ask. After they saw them, Mary Ann or Ginger? |

If I were stuck on an island, I wouldn't be too picky. Any acoustic that has a low enough action. Nylon strings would probably be better too if there are no new strings to regularly swap. Sorry, too literal?
BTW, speaking of being stranded on an island, I recently introduced my kids to Gilligan's Island. Good times! |

Fantasy: If I could choose any guitar for my exile, I might want something costly and superb.
Reality: If I was stranded on a desert island, I'd have other concerns than playing guitar.
Talk story: I'd just have to carve one to suit my needs, right? Give me a knife and a palm tree... |

One of those carbon fiber guitars, I can use it as a paddle when I am not playing it. |

My old friggin Washburn Monterey. Sounds good and can withstand the rigors of surviving on a deserted isle. |

Well, I'd still stick with the fiddle (not much of a guitar player, but I do pick a Baritone...). I would certainly have time to figure out moves.....

Lot''s of sealed packages of guitar strings. An Ovation model guitar that has a laminatedtop. Big bottles of Titebond glue, extra nuts and saddled along with fret wire and luthier tools.
Two USMC Kabar knives, magnesium blocks, fishing line and hooks for procuring and making food, shelter, water and fire. Organic seeds to plant gardens and grow coconut palms for natural dringing water, food, shelter and fishing. Solar panels, regulators and storage batteries along with shortwave radios and ham radios to get me back to the mainland at a future point. Ric |

If I take my Goodun', where do I get repairs--and strings? Think I'll take one that is durable and floats. Oh, I know, I'll take my Gilligan 6 -string. Designed by a professor, with an admiring, captive audience. Also lot's of time to practice. Where's my tab? --Oh, THAT'S why Ozzie wants us to break away from the tabs! Have you seen my capo?
I love these serious discussions! |

I'll second Terry's Patrick Landeza's Goodall, or Led's 00016 but he would have to be there to play it! |

John Keawe's old Koa or Patrick Landeza's Goodall |

Good point, Duke. Also a box or two of strings. |

I'd be perfectly content with a cheap beater. As long as it played & sounded okay. A guitar, food & water and I'd be good to go indefinitely. |

I'd take my old D-18. Just playing it lowers the blood pressure!
