Either of my Martins, depending on what mood I am in. I don't take them busking but I do take them pretty much everywhere else. They are both insured so if the worst happens, they can be repaired or replaced.
The sessions I go to aren't hugely wild, and I rarely drink so feel pretty safe taking them. The worst dings I have had were caused by me when I'd had a bit too much...

My Seagull usually goes to the pub, unless I know it's going to be pretty quiet, in which case I'll sometimes take the Martin. Usually gig with the Seagull too as the Martin is a 12 fretter and less versatile.

I've only got one acoustic guitar (Stanford OM), so I don't really have much choice!
Nigel, I got the email from you about Model S you are selling. Have you thought about putting it into the classifieds part of the forum here? The guitar looks beautiful.

If I did take one to the pub, it'd be the Vintage, but since that's for sale, I'd probably take something indestructible...like a banjo

Pub? PUB? Dens of iniquity which would undoubtedly offend my delicate sensibilities. And I don't drink. Probably.

Have you thought about putting it into the classifieds part of the forum here? The guitar looks beautiful. Aye, it's a beauty! These days when something comes up like an ex demo or used guitar, I write to the mailing list first. If it sells, great, if not, it then goes to my " available now" page. After a couple of weeks there I often list it eBay too as often folk are looking for my stuff there, and the audience is huge. But posting to the classifieds here is something I might well try in the future. But the mailing list find out before anyone else. nigel www.nkforsterguitars.com/luthier-book/

If I could pluck up courage or should I say when I pluck up courage it will probably be my Brook Torridge. On the other hand it could be my Brook Lyn Phil

I don't take my guitars to the pub because they never buy me a drink!

If I'm going to a jam night or a folk acoustic night I take the Faith Venus. When I do an open mic night I take my Takamine G series just in case somebody else want to have ago.

Forgot to mention that although my guitar has never bought me a pint, I have had plenty of pints bought for me because of my guitar, does that count.

A cheap one. Pubs are full of drunks.
