House on fire and you can only save one: Custom Shop 61 Tele or Custom Shop '61 SG....

RandallFlagg · March 2020

Which would you choose and why?

Grampa · March 2020

Neither, I'd grab the PRS MEQ.

Kittyfrisk · March 2020

Grab the SG, the tele's tough enough to look after itself

Bucket · March 2020

SG.

Skipped · March 2020

Neither.

They are both easily replaceable and your exit from the building should not be delayed.

An actual vintage guitar might be considered hard to replace.

SteveF · March 2020

Tele I think

skunkwerx · March 2020

Neither.

I'd dig their remains out of the ashes and sell them for 100% mark up as roadworn.

monquixote · March 2020

Any Tele that can't survive a house fire isn't a proper Tele.

HAL9000 · March 2020

Since this is a guitar forum surely the correct answer is both.

Whitecat · March 2020

The Tele...

crunchman · March 2020

Tele

TTony · March 2020

I'd save the time of posting on here to ask people which one to save, and save them both.

monquixote · March 2020

If you run into a house fire to save a Gibson Lucille the ghost of B.B. King haunts you.

octatonic · March 2020

Tele.
I'd use an SG to break down the door, even if it was unlocked.

Lestratcaster · March 2020

Tele cos I don't like SG's.

chris78 · March 2020

If you tried to save the SG, you'd probably break the headstock on your exit from the building anyway so you may as well save the tele

Sassafras · March 2020

I'd probably try to save my children from an horrific fiery death. If I had time after that, I'd go in for the Tele.

stickyfiddle · March 2020

Without playing them, SG.

rze99 · March 2020

SG. I can build an excellent Tele.

This is a good point.

If it was a chip pan fire, there might be just enough time to check if Gibson have somehow managed to make a very slim neck which is still too heavy for the body they have attached it to.

Roland · March 2020

Neither. My mantra is passport, plastic, ‘phone. Not necessary in that order.

When it comes to guitars I’d still say neither. The least replaceable is probably my sister-in-law’s acoustic, and that’s for sentimental reasons. All other guitars, even my Parker Fly, are replaceable.

Howdy, Stranger!
