Dream Acoustic Desert Island Guitars

[Gearjoneser]

Lets say you had to spend the rest of your days, laying around playing guitars, stranded on a desert island with NO electricity. Acoustics only!

You are allowed 5 acoustic instruments. What would you bring?

Martin D-28
Taylor 12 String
Dobro (chromed bell brass)
Ramirez Classical acoustic
Grand Piano

A Taylor Acoustic Bass, in case I found a bass player on the island.
Out there, you could probably throw a rock and hit a drummer!

Re: Dream Acoustic Desert Island Guitars

Wow ... no electricity means no metal. Hmmmm ....
1 x Gibson Dove acoustic (don't care what year), or maybe a Rainsong if humidity might be a problem
1 x Koto (might as well teach myself something new)
1 x drum kit (big one, like Neil Peart had before he went electric ... tube bells, gong, the works)
1 x harpsicord (I can't play polyphonically on a keyboard!!)
1 x acoustic bass (not stand up)

Re: Dream Acoustic Desert Island Guitars

can't pick only guitars, but rather acoustic instruments.

grand piano
upright bass
drums
Taylor 510



this list is very close to what i want in my room, lol. i'd add a Parker Spanish Fly (i think it's called the Nylon Fly now) and i'd be good. can't add it to the list, electric
