I chose the GA, especially since I mostly have GAs ... but the Jumbo is probably going to be my choice to play mostly ... especially one Jumbo I have

I like the grand auditorium, and the 10 and 15 series are tied for second.

You gotta be kidding me. I'm the only sorry S.O.B. who voted for a jumbo?

What's wrong with you people?

Promise me anything but give me JUMBO.

Ken, you're making this difficult. Or is Bob T really the one who is making this difficult?

I have a GC, rosewood/spruce, plus a jumbo, maple/spruce, plus a Baby.

I play the GC more than either of the others, but it may be more a function of the rosewood sound than the body size.

I want a GA, probably rosewood/cedar, plus a twelve-string (you forgot to include twelve-string in your choices).

I suspect that the GA, assuming there really is one in my future, would become my favorite.

How's that for the kind of answer a politician would give? But, no, I'm really an engineer/flight instructor/civil servant.

Well, heck, I'll vote for the GC.

Hey Noflatpick don't feel too bad, looks like the majority just loves the GA body style.

Another vote for the jumbo here. I've never been crazy about the name (it belongs rightly to an elephant) but that curvy shape gets me every time, and I love the tone and volume.

No I didn't...the 12 string is a jumbo.

FWIW, I voted for the x10.

Ken, there were some 12-strings in the past in the dread style. I think their model numbers were x50.

Got to be a Jumbo or concert as my favorite. Don't ask what I play the most.
Have you noticed the Ltds are almost always 10s and 14s? Can't choose just one .
Ok! Jumbo for versatility. Bob probably agrees everyone should have at least two.
Help!

I have to go with the GA on this one but the dread runs second, jumbo third, big baby forth, GC 5th and baby 6th. My K14C just rules. JW

Has to be the GC.... The intimacy of the guitar is unparalleled. The freedom of movement and room the 1 7/8-inch neck and the cut-away delivers is superb. The combination rosewood/cedar delivers unbeatable sound. Having the original styled neck (pre NT) and the adornments of year 2000 adds a touch of class and vintage appeal.... OK I’m babbling...but I love this guitar.... fellas, slip on plastic finger picks and a thumb pick and you da man! ....no.(hum...more like this).. ...that's better.

I prefer a nice curvy top, not too large, but nicely proportioned. And a good, full bottom, again not TOO large, but full. A tight, thin waist makes for a beautifully curvaceous body, IMO. Real nice on the eyes.

What? Oh, I was talking about the Grand Auditorium, silly!
