I think it depends on what I am doing. I have a lovely Fylde Oberon, which I bought in 1980. She has been all over Europe with me and has a wonderful, balanced, warm tone. However, I was having problems getting in and out of tunings at gigs, so I have acquired a Martin C-16 GTE for stage work. The Martin has built in tuner and preamp, with automatic mute for when tuning. It does not have quite the warmth of the Fylde, but it is easier to play, because of the smaller neck and it has a cutaway. I intend to use the Martin for all the standard tuning stuff and keep Bessie (my Fylde) for the open tunings, which are an essential part of my sound. The Martin is a superb stage instrument, even though it is only a mid range model (by Martin standards). I am very grateful for both of them, but if I could only keep one, it would be Bessie.
