I don't think this specific question has been asked.
Of the gear you currently own (a lot of us own more than one guitar and/or amph and pedals), what one (1) guitar (acoustic or electric), one (1) amph, and (1) pedal (EDIT: I mean a stompbox, not a multi-effect) would you bring if you were banished to a deserted island, but one with a good power supply? State why if you have time or can. (existence of a tuner is presumed, you don't have to take a tuner pedal)
My answer is:
Guitar: My Fender 60th Anniversary MIM Strat. I love my Hagstrom, but my strat is my first, and I think is overall more versatile, and has that strat thing I love and is so clear and articulate. EDIT: It is so nice to hold too. Feels just right.
Amph: My Peavey Classic 30 Yes, it is my only personal amph, but I include my son's Peavey modeling Vypyr in this too. The Vypyr is a great modeler, don't get me wrong, but I love my tube amph. With its clean and dirt channels, and the pedal I will bring, I will have plenty of versatility for my tastes. As I play with the Vypyr more, I could change my mind, because it does have some really nice models.
Pedal: DVM's Rabid Rodent The Rodent edged out my previous favorite, my Digitech Bad Monkey, because it is so versatile, and has really 6 distortion settings, and 6 overdrives if you count the Ruetz mod. I love the Bad Monkey's warm overdrive, and I might be tempted to try to smuggle it along too, but the Rodent has some very nice overdrive sounds as well, and a whole lot more. I can get a Mayer overdriven hot blues sound, plus I am sure a bunch of other overdrive sounds, although this Mayer one is my favorite right now. I can also get a full variety of good, rock distortion sounds, and a ton of sustain. Punk sounds, classic rock, Santana, SRV, they are in there.
OK, who's next? 1 guitar, 1 amph, and 1 pedal out of what you currently own. And Spud, you have to answer this too. Inquiring minds want to know what the well endowed gear owner's among us would bring. :D
