Default If you could only have one acoustic guitar

What current production acoustic guitar would it be and why?

I could do with my Waterloo WL-14xtr as my only guitar, not that I'd want to.

When I factor in price, playability, ergonomics, sound and pure fun... I haven't played a more satisfying guitar. I have a WL-12 too but I'd go w/ the 14 fret for the versatility. I'd need something to plug in for gigs and I have a Sunrise in the WL-14 so that'd work.

Probably my D18, though my F50r would be a close second.

2012 D-18 ... or ... 2018 "Re-imagined" D-28.

Love what Martin has done recently with their improvements to the Standard models.

My Lowden F12C. It smells, sounds and feels great. It has a nice wide neck which is perfect for me....

...and it was a present from my wife

I don’t see that happening, so it’s difficult to know, but I imagine this Froggy K would be the last one standing.

I find these hypotheticals to be a bit stress inducing 🤪

But if I had to choose it would be a current favorite of mine
This Furch D34 SR
