A distant second would be Paul McCartney's early 60's Epiphone FT-79 Texan Other unique guitars that come to mind. John Lennon's Gibson J160 Ryan Adams and his vintage Harmony Buck Owens signature Damien Rice and his Japanese built mid-80's Lowden James Taylor and his signature Olson Garth Brooks and his signature Takamine Chris Stapleton's Gibson LG-2 Caitlin Canty and her vintage Recording King

The single most imitated and copied acoustic guitar in the world is the Martin D-28. No other acoustic guitar, even other Martin models, comes remotely close to the number of knock-offs and copies that the D-28 has inspired. It has, essentially, defined what most of us think of when we think about the sound and looks of an acoustic guitar.
For earlier generations, something like the Gibson L-5 might have been the ideal. But the Martin D-28 has been the standard bearer for decades now, ever since the 1960's, if not earlier. Wade Hampton Miller |

I bought my 1962 D-28 new and, although I have other Martin and Gibson guitars, the D-28 is the one I prize the most. You either own a Martin D-28 or you don't. |

Martin D-28 is the most iconic model.
Clarence White's/Tony Rice's is the most iconic D-28.

I don't.
I own a Martin D-18, instead, which I prefer. But there's no escaping how hugely influential the D-28 has been and continues to be. whm |

The D18 and D28 are legendary guitars for good reason so I'm taking those as a given.
Anyone that's heard Glen Hansard's Takamine NP15 up close will know that it's a special guitar too. It's got early onset Trigger syndrome in that his right hand has worn through the top and it's been repaired a few times. I'd rather see 1 guitar that's been thoroughly played than 1000 guitars that have been mollycoddled in their cases and trophy boxes for fear of scratches, humidity, someone touching them, etc. Gazza |
