Best Acoustic Guitar You've Ever Heard
What, in your opinion, is the best acoustic guitar you've ever heard?
Was it a specific players guitar used on an album? A guitar you bought? Heard once in a store? On Youtube? etc... Soundclips are a plus! Here are a few favorites of mine from the dreamguitars website. I own the third one down: http://www.dreamguitars.com/preowned...on_sj_1256.php http://www.dreamguitars.com/preowned...nnium_1987.php http://www.dreamguitars.com/preowned...0-21_75143.php http://www.dreamguitars.com/new/blan...ream_2_105.php http://www.dreamguitars.com/new/somo...000-12_404.php

Some folks will mention a really high end guitar that no one else ever played, a bunch of them will mention a classic (e.g. Martin D18GE) and the others will mention a cheap guitar that "beats the high end stuff by a mile".

Pierre Bensusans Ryan, played by him.
Nicest sound I have ever heard when I'm playing is from a stonebridge OM that I'm trying to figure out how to afford.

My 1979 Ramirez 1a. When I played it for the first time my wife commented that it was the best sounding she had heard. When I heard my son-in-law play it I realized it had a beautiful sound. It's the only guitar I've ever seen that will obviously resonate to sounds in the room. I don't play it as much as others I own, but I always look forward to hearing it every time.

There are a couple of clips from Dream Guitars that are forever etched in my memory (both from 2-3 years ago) - one Applegate and one McIlroy. The Applegates are forever out of my price range which makes that McIlroy my "dream guitar".
You didn't ask about looks, but in the looks department, I give it to Matthew Mustapick hands-down. Simply works of art. They sound great to boot! But alas, far above anything I can afford.
