My SCGC 1929 000 with hide glue and Adi bracing. Everything the 00 is, but more.

That's tough for me... I think I've owned 6 different ones. My favorite is a Collings 01 Mh and second is a all-hog H&D 00. Both are fantastic guitars... with small bodies, they produce a very focused, precise sound. Somewhat bluesy, but outstanding for fingerstyle.

I've also owned a Santa Cruz 1929 00, Collings C10 Mh, Martin 00-15M and an all-hog H&D 0. These three all had bigger necks and wider fretboards, so I had a harder time bonding with them, but superb guitars.

For me, there's nothing better than small-bodied, all-Mahogany guitars. A very sweet sound...

That would be my 2016 Guild M20. My wife bought it for me as a wedding present last august.
im loving the neck & the string spacing on it-it's very strum & fingerpick friendly to me.
at first i thought it kind of quiet & midrange heavy but the more i play it the more volume it seems to get & that woody 'mahagony' tone (i really dont know quite how else to describe it) that i love so much really comes thru.
If i were to lose my other guitars (god forbid!) that would be the one i would replace first.

Late 60s/early 70s Guild D25s are full-sized all hog dreadnaughts with a big brash sound (later D25s were stained spruce topped).

It's a real sleeper on the vintage acoustic marketplace and a good 'un

I have an L.A. Guitar Sales Martin OO-15m custom bought new in 2012 that I think is spectacular. It's well played in,.. louder than you'd expect and it's clear, balanced and rich sounding, a lively guitar. Fun to play. I have Martin MSP4150 Light-Mediums on it, perfect fit for that guitar.

Is this the 12 fret model or the 14 fret, just wondering?

My Martin J-15. Essentially an OM on steroids made by the company whose all mahogany guitars are my personal sonic standard.
