Sooooooo beautiful.

I just bought this guitar last month. Some people think the S1 switch is overrated, but I love it.

This is what i would pick...http://www.music123.com/Fender-60s-Telecaster--with-Bigsby--Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar-i154961.music

all you guys choosing electric, were talking ONE guitar for LIFE. haha. i'm choosing acoustic strictly on the LIFE factor.

im going to go SUPER specific for this, and chose my uncles Larivee. It was made in Vancouver when Jean Larivee was still building 2/3 guitars at a time in his garage. It dates to the mid-seventies i believe, and this thing plays music just sitting on a stand. Just imagine a goddess strumming a harp, this is the harp. This is my choice for one guitar, and i would trade up all my playing (not recording gear) to get it

ps: im pretty sure once my uncle gets older i'll get a peice of it. ha!

I know everyone mentioned an electric as their one guitar for the rest of their lives, but I'm going acoustic.

Much more versatile and you can play it anywhere, anytime.

Taylor 700 series. Specifically the 714ce...it is my next guitar purchase. Of course I have to save up FOREVER for it, but it'll be totally worth it.

Hahaha, beat me to it harrison!

If I was going to be electric for the rest of my life, I think the Deluxe with the S-1 switching, but I think I'd go acoustic and I already have the one I love

My Taylor 414 ce is amazing and it plays better than a bunch of higher end ones.
. If it's the one for the rest of my life I guess I'd take the Taylor acoustic and screw on the Fender Deluxe pickguard with the SCN's and S-1 switching,,,, and maybe put a Bigsby on it, too.

THEN I'd be set!

Wow, pretty hard to answer but i have a Gibson SG Special in the teal and it is the nicest guitar i have ever played. Tone is to die for and it feels so right. So i'd have to go with what i already know and love.

I wouldn't mind one of these little babies though

He's using a Gibson J-160E and it sounds so damn sweet.

Mwuah Bob, you wouldn't! (Either way, you shouldn't)

But I agree, I'd go acoustic as well, and though I wouldn't mind me a Lowden Damien Rice style, I'm actually pretty happy with my old Guild D25. I pretty much know for sure this one is never leaving me in this lifetime.

Or this one! God, I love how this one sounds, let alone how beautiful it looks!

That is one expensive-ass guitar!!

I'd def. like to sit down with that for a while!

The guitars I love are almost out of my reach anymore...so one of the ones I have coming will probably be the "one guitar for the rest of my life"...for real.

i'd probably go with a '59 strat.

but as it stands, i really like my les paul DC standard.

I've narrowed it down to one of these two - it's the same basic guitar.
Both are in a smaller size than standard, but with a few different options.
Both of these are good for almost any style,
Both have a sweet singing tone,
Both can get a nice throaty sound when you want,
Both can achieve nice controlled feedback,
These are also in the color I'd want:
