Just for fun I was wondering what you all thought might be the equivalents in the acoustic guitar world. I'm thinking about guitars that are not only widely recognized, but are also guitars that a true player would love to own and play because of its prized sound. I can think of several worthy candidates, but I'll kick it off with one: Tony Rice's D-28 that previously belonged to Clarence White.

Other suggestions?

Did anyone mention Andy Griffith's D-18? That one is iconic in my house. My kids know that Andy played a D-18.

If we are talking about model of guitar instead of a specific guitar, isn't the nylon string, classical, concert, or 'Spanish' model unquestionably the most iconic?
