    If you could only take ONE guitar with you...

    Lets say, you have to travel to somewhere, and you're expected to play on stage for some reason. But you could only take ONE guitar with you.

    What would it be?

    For me, it would be a flip between 2 guitars. The 20th Silo with Piezo, or the HSS Silo Spec Candy Red.

    Now, if I had a HSS Silo spec WITH piezo, it'll be a different story.

    If I had either one of these, they would be the one: Silo Spec HSS with piezo or Luke with piezo.

    For now, it'll have to be Silo Spec HSS or JP6 BFR.

    right now my only music man is my luke, and im mainly a country guitarist. so unfortunately i would have to say my tele/strat, BUT, when i get to try one, im hoping to have an mm90 ass hardtail to tote around everywhere. maybe if BP would like to throw in a freebie i would be kinda happy to say the least haha.....im not joking.

    I use my Luke for country stuff, i'm not so concerned with getting the exact tone required, you can get a passable tone for sure, you cant beat that Luke neck, its worth the tone trade off! MM90 ASS is great for a back up for sure.

    If the gig suited a HH guitar, it'd definately be the piezo 20th.

    Otherwise my HSH Silo - versatility & major mojo !

    yea its got great tone for sure! it stays in my rack for a couple of the more rockin tunes that have alot of overdrive sounds. this may sound weird but i use it for some slide stuff too haha. but you hit the nail on the head about the neck! thats what sucked me in about the guitar and thats the main reason i cant let it go.

    Right now I have been using my 97 Silhouette Special exclusive for everything! Recording, gigs, practice and jamming. I got it used with a lot a battle wounds so I am not nervous to put a nick / dent into it (not like I am wanting to). I just need to change that bridge pick up. The Dimarzio Evolution is just too thin! Since I have got it my Yellow Fender has stayed in its case. That was my former work horse.

    I'd have to say my BFR JP (with my piezo equipped Al coming in a close second) as I find it the most comfortable of my guitars.

    For me....it would be my Super Sport. It's versatility and quilted top sexiness is a must for any gig.

    Love my Luke, but I've been playing the A.S.S. more as of late.
