For me, people and then photographs would come first, and then I’d turn to my Epiphone EL-00 - £219 new in 2011 - it plays and sounds great, and it’s acquiring dings and dents at the same rate as me. My late father installed the sound hole pick for me. I love it. My Fender Classic 50s/60s Strats/Teles can be replaced fairly easily.

I had one and sold it about 20 years ago. Maybe not the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, but in the top 10 for sure.

In that case it depends on which guitar!Yes, I was thinking of my wife and son
The question was "musical things". So probably the '88 AmSt Stratocaster that's been with me for 34 years. It's like an old friend really, more than a great guitar. Or the fiddle inherited from one of my Dad's uncles.
Anything else is replacable.

I’d miss the gear, but I’m getting out!
My guitars are downstairs, my bedroom is upstairs.
For a thought experiment I guess I’d grab my old Tele, even though other guitars are more pricey.

The teles would burn. It would be the hollow body I bought in the early 70s, and the MIJ Yamaha FG160 I brought back from Thailand (SEA war games) 51 years ago. One in each hand.

The one on the table is my first professional grade banjo (1986 Stelling Sunflower) but the one hanging (1895 S.S.Stewart Cello-Banjo) is the one I'd grab.
They’d burn.

Family including animals. If I have chance for anything else, family photos and the partscaster I'm working on. The rest is all insured.

I commissioned a banjo from Jason and Pharis Romero when I retired. After a long wait, it was finished, part of a small batch that was packed and ready for despatch in June 2016. That night a disastrous fire destroyed their workshop, all their personal instruments and the batch of new builds awaiting despatch.
When their insurance was sorted and a new workshop built, they built me the wonderful instrument I'm so happy to have. It incorporates some hardware and other material salvaged from the fire. So, not a trace of doubt in my mind - that's what I'd grab if we had a fire.

My Martin 0000-18 Gruhn Custom Sinker Mahogany. It sounded good before and is about five years old and is opening up more. It would come after the wife and dogs.
I think this thread shows why there are so many old Martins. in a Telecaster group a large portion of players would save their Martin.Yes, a good sounding acoustic is harder to come by than a slab of wood with pickups.
