You Are On TITANIC With Your Guitar Collection...

Alright, you are aboard TITANIC with all your guitars. Obviously, the ship's crew will allow you to take only one guitar with you in the lifeboat.
Which one?

My 25 year old Strat.
She has been with me the longest and always seems to do everything right. Incredible guitar.

I take one of my hollowbodies, for the obvious reason of that it will float

Oh, man, that was hilarious.
Great answer.

No worries, Teles float.

(Never got the hang of embeding YT vids.)

The heaviest, most solidly built guitar i got, to use as a battle-ax to clear the deck of a life boat……Argh!

Water is cold.

Water is cold.

And the old boy from Arkansas said "Its Deep too!" :razz:

heh.

my strat

I've 9 guitars.
Enough for a raft?

that's easy,,,take the one that would best
serve as a paddle.

My 62' strat. Irreplacable. :cool:

Before my new Tele the answer would be easy... my inexpensive Epiphone Dot Studio (335) incredible guitar!

Time to think outside the boat...

They float. So lash them together and tow them behind the boat

Excellent answer - I'll lash mine up with yours.

Why would you keep a Steinberger .

Water is cold.

Especially in the North Atlantic in April. Ugh.

If I am on "that" sinking ship with my collection of telecasters I am strapping all 14 of them together and throwing them over the side! I would be in the history books by now? That folks is................pickin & grinnin!

This thread is absolutely ridiculous, there are many people on board that can not fit on the life boat. Get each person to bring one of your guitars into the lifeboat. Then push all the people off of the life boat, problem solved and innocent lives saved.

well im somewhat honor bound to save my six string banjo, for one i inherited it from a WWII vet who wanted me to have it and its survived 100 years on this earth so far (it was actually made a year before the titanic so it couldve actually survived it :lol:) so it kinda deserves to make it on that boat, but i would be hard pressed to leave my epiphone masterbilt acoustic behind, i kinda hated that guitar but i fought it and conquered it and now it is probably one of my best sounding instruments. this is an unsolveable dilemna that would require me to push someone off the lifeboat

I'm on the Titanic? knowing it will hit an iceberg? I'd be doing something about that , forget the guitars!

+1 on this one too :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

I'm on the Titanic? knowing it will hit an iceberg? I'd be doing something about that , forget the guitars!You're taking the right tack here - as far as doing something about it, I'd take my trusty tele by the headstock, walk to the bow of the ship, raise it over my head and hurl it, end over end at the approaching iceberg. When the guitar hit the iceberg, the iceberg would cleave in two, allowing safe passage for the Titanic - because that's the way Leo designed it.

Who cares about guitars..

Let's talk women and children. I'd go down with the ship to save them first..

Pointless and silly thread.

I'm sure the same thread appeared in a different title a while back: "Your House Is On Fire. Which Guitar Do you Save?"

that's easy,,,take the one that would best
serve as a paddle.

You admit to owning an Ovation?

ummm titanic sunk in 1912, no one's got any teles or strats and les paul doesnt exist for another 3 years. Here are your options from that year at least:

Martin:

You just killed the thread for many. LOL

None of our guitars existed when TITANIC went down so how could we have them aboard? That's the card you are playing?
Dude, forget our guitars, NONE OF US HERE existed when TITANIC went down. That's an easier card to play.

Thanks, Debbie. LOL :smile:

carry on!

I let 'em all go down with the ship.

It's an impossible question! Like, "Which one is your favorite child?"

I'd let them sink too - and make some more.

It's that big fat diamond of Rose's I'd be grabbing.

Actually, on second thoughts, I'd grab Celine Dion by the hair and jump overboard.

If I'm on the boat I'm grabbing the wheel and moving the boat out of the damn way :)

Screw Guitars what about a Vintage AC30 before women & children :lol:, that thing would reach the bottom of the atlantic before the titanics anchor

As captain of the axe I'd go down with the Tele (soloing).

Im king of the world with this Baha...

...Actually, on second thoughts, I'd grab Celine Dion by the hair and jump overboard.Too skinny. Wouldn't float.

My KIRN, without a doubt.

Let em' all go down and then collect the warranty (is sinking super ships covered by fenders limited lifetime waranty

I'd let just save myself and any loved one on the boat.

Not that I'm heroic by any means, it would give me an excuse to start all over.

I'm a titanic man.

i'd leave the guitars and bring both of'em

is sinking super ships covered by fenders limited lifetime waranty

probs not.

probs not.

I don't think taking the guitar out of the case is covered by Fender..

LOL

You Are On TITANIC With Your Guitar Collection...

Uh Oh.... sux to be you.... :shock:

Why would you keep a Steinberger .]

Those who have never played one do not know.

This for me was the most no-brain scenario ever. My Steinberger L2 bass OF COURSE is the only one going into the lifeboat with me.

They don't float though, so if I gotta steal a life jacket from one of you guys to keep her, well...sorry about that.

Guitars?....

I'd be too busy sketching Kate Winslet's boobs....


:razz:

And I don't plan on it either. Damn those things are Fugly.

If I had that banjo (I'm a banjo geek), I think I'd save it too. I'd love to see a pic of it!

Rose of course (She lives)

http://titanicguitars.com/products/rose/

I would grab one of my guitars.

I'd grab the Martin if it was handy, for sentimental reasons.
But honestly I own nothing that cannot be easily replaced.
