Tough question, I generally don't go for the aesthetics of most Gibson acoustics. I don't care for oversized pickguards, or ones with pictures on them. Also not a jumbo fan so their classic SJ-200 models are off the table.
However, #1 for sure is the J-45. Classic, elegant, with a great, balanced, tone. #2 would be the L-00. #3 the 1928 L-1 Blues tribute is a cool looking one. I love the 12-fret guitars but admit I have not had the chance to play this one but it has piqued my curiousity. Later Rob

1937 Gibson L-0
No explanation needed - fingerpicking delight:  Next fave would be my BK L-00 and then my 59 LG3, but there are others! (Photos of those are on Photobucket - give me 5 days to open it - the photo above is in Imgur) BluesKing777. Last edited by BluesKing777; 03-14-2017 at 07:01 PM.

Sheryl Crow Southern Jumbo is my all time favorite modern Gibson.
A custom, no sunburst, adi top, mahogany backed, Advanced Jumbo was my second favorite. I also played a new Original Jumbo a year or two ago that was great. Matt

Well, we have sort of overdone on the old guitar thing. We have and use more than just 3.
There are three of these that might be good choices -- the 36 AJ for sure and both the 35 Jumbo and 31 L-2 are jewels that get a lot of use.  I guess the other ones that seem to very special are our 23 GB-4, and various old Mastertones and mandolins.

In my life I've owned three Gibson guitars...a 1964 LG0 (my first guitar in 1964), a WM-45, and a Les Paul double cut. The two acoustics I loved. The LP not so much.

I currently own 4 recent Gibsons, one or possibly two of which will go away. The ones that remain are the AJ Luthier's Choice and a limited Southern Jumbo RI that they put out a couple years ago. Neither of these would make the cut against my Collings Traditionals, Martins, Santa Cruz and Lowden if I had to radically downsize, but I seem to always be drawn to Gibsons in the store. The current black Dove is really nice and I don't have a maple guitar...

#1 Advanced Jumbo - by far my favorite. Ironically, the most un-Gibson sounding to me. Somewhere between a Gibson and a Martin. Still the only rosewood guitar that loves the taste of PB strings....kind of weird
#2 hard to choose, but the J-45 is too iconic not to put here. Most recorded guitar ever, the ultimate singer-songwriter guitar....hard to argue. #3 J-15/ J-35 are high end guitars in build quality and tone, but not the price tag. I'm a sucker for made in America with North American tone woods. Went in to buy a 15, left with a killer sounding 35.
