your house is burning down and you can only grab ONE guitar ...

crunchman

I'd probably take my Strat as I bought that with money my grandfather left me in his will.

I wouldn't stay and burn with the guitars, but my vast collections of old guitar magazines would go up like a torch.  I'd get out of there quick.

Assuming I'd got the dogs, wife and daughter out first...it'd probably have to be my N4. It's the only irreplaceable one I have; I'm 100% sure that Jaden would be able to re-make my S2 and Tele, and while the Squier Strat does have sentimental value it's not enough to put it over the top past the N4 (which is also signed by Extreme, including ones from Nuno on the headstock and the trem cavity cover).

Joe Walsh's 59 Les Paul.

My epi Les Paul studio, last gift off my parents before they divorced and my first ever electric.

All the others are insured so I could replace, although it would hurt like hell.

First thing I'd grab would be the phone so I can ring the Fire Brigade.

My charvel 375 deluxe I bought when I was 15. I spent 2 years doing 2 paper rounds a day to afford it.

Charvel Model 4.   Not worth much in comparison to my ESP, but I've had it since 86 and despite the fact I've not even played it for a year due to it needing a major set up, it's been through so much with me....

Having seen some threads on some forums, the first thing some people would do is start a new topic:

MY HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN - WHAT SHOULD I DO?

My house has just caught fire thanks to me leaving a chip pan unattended while playing Call Of Duty on the XBOX - LOL.  I'm not sure I want to call the emergency services - is there anything I can do to stop the fire myself?

The fire is in the kitchen so I can't get to the tap to throw water on it, but I am in the living room right now.  I do have a drinks cabinet in here, and there's lots of liquid in the bottles.  Would it be okay to throw these bottles on the fire?

I want to do this as quietly as possible, because the missus is still asleep upstairs and I'd rather not wake her.  So glad I took the batteries out of the smoke alarms!!

Help appreciated, cheers.

ps.  It's getting a bit warm, should I open the windows?

Sassafras

If for some reason I couldn't use both my arms then I would grab my 12 string acoustic, then I could serenade the firemen while they fight the blaze. I'm sure they'd be very grateful.

My red strat build. Beautiful guitar that is really the best strat I've played. Very light pine body so it's very bright and funky sounding.  The Oil City Calibre 53s work perfectly with it.

@axisus, if your house was on fire I'd run into your house and save that tele - bloody lovely!

hotpot

My Squier VM jazzmaster of course. :-bd It's just a stonkingly good guitar.

RaymondLin

I grab my cameras before my guitar....

But if my cameras are already out and I need to grab a guitar.  My PRS Stripped 58.

^ Doesn't matter how often you post a picture of that guitar - it's always lovely to see it. It's a stunner.

I'd grab the fire extinguisher..

DrJazzTap

I'd let them relic themselves and then sell for an inflated profit. :P

I'd probably save my DGT or SG.

Maynehead

Painful decision but it's gotta be the ESP
