Ryan H Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Thought this would be a cool little game to play. 1 guitar that you own (acoustic or electric) 1 amplifier that you own. (If head, 1 cab is allowed as well) 3 stompboxes that you may or may not own. 1 accessory (picks are a given) I'll start it off: Guitar: Charvel SoCal, Ferrari Red Amplifier: Traynor YGL-1 LE Tan FX1: Boss RC-3 FX2: TC Electronics Polytune FX3: MXR Distortion III Accessory: Capo Well there's my "Desert Island Rig". Let's see yours! -Ryan (Note: We are assuming there is electricity on this island, all these pedals come with adapters or you have an infinite number of 9V's, and you have enough cables to connect all of this up. Your strings and tubes (where applicable) will never die/break) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Be tough...but guitar would be the DIF. All the other stuff wouldn't be of any use....unless the desert island had an electric generation plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaysEpiphone Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, I wouldn't want to mess up a nice guitar with sand and salt air so just a bang around one would do. I have one perfect for this but the neck needs to be replaced first, its a mid 1970's Epiphone Texan six-string acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'd be fine with my Ibanez acoustic, my Snark tuner and my capo. I'd trade my amp and other electronics for some extra sets of strings if I'm gonna be there for awhile, methinks. Yeah... relative tuning is fine, but I like the tuner I got for Christmas /chuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavestate Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I would bring: 2011 Gibson SG Standard. 1981-83 ACC G100T amplifier + 469 4x12 cabinet.

milod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Actually we've been through this before... For me... I dunno. Whatever I can grab, I guess. I'd leave the one "board" guitar behind although it's as good or better than anything else I own. I think the "desert island" think is a bit overblown, though. If one were truly alone, electricity would be a concern. No question. That pretty well leaves out most electrics, including even semi-hollows. Then it's a matter of whatcha wanna play for music. So that'd leave me probably with an archtop or at the other end of my "pricetag" spectrum, a nice little Epi PR5e that works better for jazz as well as "cowboy" than one might imagine. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ....electricity would be a concern. No question..... Serendipitously, milod, No It Wouldn't! It's right there in the 'Rules of Play' at the very beginning of the game in post #1..... .....there is electricity on this island.....strings and tubes (where applicable) will never die/break)..... It's a hypothetical situation and Ryan made the rules! Rejoice!! You could chose your 175 or your Guild SG over any acoustic should you so wish!!! P.

May I humbly suggest "The Best Drum Machine in the World As We Know It". They eat far less food than drummers - and Ryan didn't mention anything about there being a limitless supply of food on the island...... P.

milod Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I dunno... How 'bout a drummer, bass player or fellow guitar picker of the opposite sex, assuming that's a pairing that floats your boat - and two folks working on a boat are more likely to have it float than one... <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I can't do these. I need a Hardtail and Tremolo Equipped guitar to do everything I do, so one electric is out of the question. Then, if I was alone on an island I would probably work on a raft, boat, or signal fire so I could get back to an audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My 09' SG Special, 93' Peavey Prowler (although I'm a Marshall/Wizard type guy this is all I have right now), TC Polytune, Cry Baby, Maxon OD-9, and a Dunlop Blues Bottle. If I can use my imagination, I would replace the SG (although I love her to death) with a mid/late 70s Les Paul Custom in Cherry Sunburst with DiMarzios, and the Peavey with a Wizard Modern Classic 100 w. head with a Wizard 4X12.

Jon S. Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'd bring my 80's Sheraton(or one of my Tele's), Tweed Deluxe, DM-2 delay, VB-2 Vibrato, and a King of Tone. Since I'll be on an island, my accessory will be a nice hammock to relax in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
