The one I play:

50/50 split between the L-03 and the all mahogany parlor....they're all I've got and are completely different. I love 'em both.

The one I want:

a nice Martin rosewood OM either an OM-28 Marquis or one of the new OM-21 Special. I did play a nice R. Taylor a couple of days ago. It was a Madagascar rosewood/Englemann spruce combo. Pricey but wow, it was nice...

the one i play: DV-05E

the one i want: DV-05E (and maybe a gibson super 200 custom antique natural)

ducktrapper · February 16, 2007, 04:32:58 PM

Hmmm. Well. I play them all. When my playing partner comes over he always grabs my 000-50 though. He doesn't even bring his own 1977 L09 any more and believe me it's a sweet guitar. Of course, we all get to play our own guitars all the time.

sgarnett · February 16, 2007, 06:27:18 PM

The one I grab first is the om-03 forum.

The one I want is an om-03mt forum. I'm enjoying the sprucetop so much that I wonder what her sister would be like

Steve · February 16, 2007, 08:07:12 PM

The one I play:

Lately the L-05MT seems to be my favorite.

I grab most any of my instruments -- tho' the 00-19 gets the nod at my boy's bedtime.

Not sure what is meant by "the one you GAS for" -- what a silly notion.

Were I to win a lottery, I'd offer Dave Wren whatever it took to get him out of 'luthier retirement'.

I'd also be knocking on the doors of Ms. Manzer, (Joshia) deJonge, Park & Wingert, and Messrs. Barry, Beardsell, Beneteau, (Sergei) DeJonge, Duncan, Dunn, Graff, Harrison, Karol, Laskin & (Alastair) Miller. Apologies to those who I omitted -- no slight intended.
(Yes, there are many fabulous non-Canadian builders; must be the maple syrup in my veins).

As regards workshop or assembly line instruments, the list would include an L-03 or L-05, as many LS models with different woods as I could get my hands on, an L-09 FM or C-09 maple. And, most definitely, a Santa Cruz H-13 and a Huss & Dalton CM cutaway w/ Honduran Rosewood.

And a baby Collings.

Oh yeah ... I'd certainly ask Messrs. Capek, Dudenbostel, Gilchrist, Heiden, Holoubek, Holst, Janish, Kemnitzer, Lebeda, Ratcliff, Triggs & Woodley to build me a mando (not that my Weber is lacking in any way ...).

Finally, I'd look high & low for an old, no-name fiddle that looked like hell but played & sounded great.

The One I Grab: my '99 Sitka/Hog unbound parlor

The One I GAS for: The Martin 016-NY from my birth year that I'm currently negotiating on.

prof_stack · February 17, 2007, 11:52:22 PM

The One I Grab: the SD-50 one day, the 000-15S the next, and so on

The One I GAS for: honestly nothing right now. Last year I wanted a 000-18GE but changed my mind.

gobseulmuhri · February 18, 2007, 12:37:03 AM

One I grab: L-03R

One I want (At least for now): HD28

I realized that I love martin's very deep and resonant bass and sweet, pretty trebles. No need for fancy abalone - I just want that martiin tone with scalloped braces and the classy herringbone bindings.

ElJefe · February 18, 2007, 07:04:45 AM

My current GAS guitar is either a SD-50...
or an HD-28VS

The 1 11/16 nut is just a little small for me.

The one you grab? The one you GAS for?
