er... data is more import than guitars

Are you serious???

I'd agree as it goes, I've hours of recorded music, all backed up several times, like, but all those backups would be in the same flat as the guitars. And the guitars are insured, all the music isn't.

I'd probably take certain vinyl before guitars, too.

I don't really get attached to guitars though, they're just things that I make the stuff I'm attached to with.

I suppose if I had an irreplaceable guitar it would make a difference but with 1TB of data, I could probably recover 90% of it but it would be a lot of hassle.

This one. It isn't even the greatest guitar, it's just stuck with me for such a long time I got so used to it.

My Esquire has some very personal mods, it cannot be replaced. I can't put 777 on one with a different serial number and the zinc plate 7K Blakguard pickup will have to be a custom order.

SG400s in tobacco sunburst are hard to find.

But it's my Gretsch Power Jet I love the most.

I guess I'll have to choose the first one I can grab.

Up until a month ago I'd have said my mid sixties Epiphone Wilshire but if it were to happen today it would be my Dubreuille Telecaster I'd grab first.


It's possible that I'm still in the honeymoon period of ownership and if you ask me this question again in six months I might answer different but this Tele is so light, versatile, playable and good looking that it's my current No. 1.

In terms of value, the sensible choice would be to grab the Tyler.



However.... I haven't been playing much lately (not that I ever play much), but when I am in the mood my "go-to" guitar always seems to be the cherry Epi Jr.  Don't know why really!

It'd have to be my home made acoustic - still in love with it...

Love the tele and the Tyler. I'd save both if I could.

I love the Tyler for it sounds and craftmanship. And no, the headstock doesn't match the body at all, but somehow it doesn't bother me. I mean, Barbara Streisand has a big nose, but as soon she starts singing I forget about that.  :lol:

 :? Hmmmm....... 

I'll probably regret saying this, but if you watch the film What's Up, Doc? (1972) she was actually bloody hot.  Despite the big nose.

We'll be dammed together then Philly ; as for me she had that whole 'Siamese cat ' thing going on with the eyes and nose. I like a pretty face that does not look like the last 1,000 ( somewhat manufactured or uniformly ) pretty faces I saw before it. I like a quirky and memorable face, it is much more lovable, more enduring.  The song " Funny Valentine" says it all for me.  :)

( sorry for the hi-jack folks ! )
