Retired Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Guess if it had electricity I'd take my Epiphone LP Standard. Wouldn't want the Gold Top ruined and the Epihone is a whole heck of a lot cheaper. No electricity, I'd take the Fender 6 string acoustic or the Mitchell 12.

Aster1 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 For an amp, just have one of those cig. pack amps with a wind up battery generator. That is unless "The Professor" is on the island with ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yup, just listen to the sustain:... It's funny 'cos it's (almost) true........ Watch especially the bit from 01:02 to 01:17 (like anyone really needs to be told) but the whole clip is a masterclass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP6dZpLNkCo Pip.

Notes_Norton Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Are you already on the desert island? Nope. Top of an ancient sand dune in the sub-tropics. It's like a desert island, but with water and a short drive to a grocery store ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windhoek Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'd hole to take one as big as a canoe! haha, playable and practical!

matonanjin Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Haha! In the times we live I wouldn't be surprised if there was an Apple store behind the first palm tree...oh, and don't forget the McDonalds too. Other than that it's the usual dersert island kind of thing (sponsored by Tropicana). And a Walmart, and a Walgreens, and a Starbucks, and a Whole Foods! (The Starbucks would be ok ) But back on point, it would be my Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyGhost Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 This is the dreadnaught you're looking for. but dont hole it Jaxon. Ah yes, a mock-up of a Maton solid body (the keyhole in the headstock was the give away, apart from the name on the body of the guitar.) Forgot to add, I would take the Artist Black Devil D10. Reason being, I got it from a second hand shop so it was very inexpensive (as opposed to cheap,) it's solid body made out of Tasmanian Blackwood (Acacia) and plays pretty good.

charlie brown Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 When I think of a "Desert Island," I envision something like Tom Hanks was on, in "Castaway!" I.E. No power, or creature comforts, at all. You guys must be going to an Island at Club Med?! So, with what I envision, I would have to say some acoustic guitar (6 or 12-string), in my case.

CB Yes, and look at the state Tom Hank's character came back in. The rugby ball fared even worse. Which one of us would really want our pride and joy to be subjected to those conditions. Now here's a question: Would our wives leave us because they thought we were lost for dead or would it be because we bought an expensive guitar?????

CB I thought of doing a similar thread. My idea was:- "Your house is burning down, you can only save one guitar. Which one will it be? If you attempt to take 2 you will burn and perish" I take this thread to be in the same spirit, but less horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so sick of the "burning house which guitar?" question. Or what you'd do if you were in the house with your wife and your dream guitar and there was a 4-minute warning to Armegeddon....
