ksdaddy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Ummmm..... do you mean "If you were stranded on a desert island and had to have one non-Gibson" or do you mean "if you could pick one non-Gibson that you don't currently own"? Not trying to be anal (my wife hates it when I get that way) just looking for clarification of the query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfden1 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 A short scale custom Santa Cruz OMPW with madrose b/s, Lutz spruce top, all hide glue construction, 1 3/4 nut, soft V neck. My dream guitar. Probably never in the cards, so, other than that, a Dan Roberts version of an LG-2 with maple b/s and sitka top and a 30's Gibson full body sunburst.

Old Neil Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well if you're asking me TODAY (it changes you see) it would be a very tasty Breedlove DM Revival. Their take on a pre-war- ish Martin D-18. Sounds very similar to a great '64 D-18 I played a while back. Different specs but similar sparkling trebles, deep but focused bass and incredible note to note clarity. Not too expensive either. Very impressive. I've owned a good D-18 GE too but I prefer the sound of the Breedlove. I found a breif review clip here: As far as other brands, I've owned all the new Martins I was interested in, had a nice Collings D-1A for a while and currently own a Huss and Dalton TD-R custom Brazilian dread. The most tempting right now are a '54 SJ I wrote about in another thread but that's outside the OP's question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
