Although I have a few guitars to choose from I really tend to focus on a single instrument pretty much exclusively for long periods of time.
My current "favorite" is my homebrew size 0 a hog slot head 14 fretter. Why? I made a laundry list of everything I would like in an "ultimate" acoustic and then built what I wanted. This one has been on the exclusive list for the last year. I posted all the details as well as a full construction plan for this here on AGF when it was completed.

There are some very nice guitars pictured here. My favorite is my GS Mini. It is an only child, so it has to be I guess. One day I might get another and have to make a choice. I can't post pictures, but it looks like every other mahogany GS Mini.

Sonically, I'd give it to my Taylor GS Mini-e Koa, but my recent purchase of a Gretsch Jim Dandy really tickles me. If only it had more than 12 frets. But truthfully, the one guitar that is my all-around FAVORITE, is my KLOS carbon fiber travel guitar!

This question caught me at a time when I have been asking myself if my trusty SJ200 has been somewhat upstaged by my new Martin 000-D13e. I have finally dialed it in and finished my little custom touches and I haven't handled my Gibson in over a month. Although a lower end Martin, I find it to be an amazing guitar and very playable with action to die for right out of the box. It is now officially my go-to guitar, and with a Tonewood amp - absolutely amazing. So I would definitely have to say my Martin 000-D13e is my favorite guitar right now.

Geee !!!
As most of the posts here triggered some drooling, mine is still my Martin OOO-18 (2014) for its comfort, playability and angels calling sounds !

Easy call - I only have one. Martin CEO-7. Minus a pick guard, plus an arm-rest. It handles everything I throw at it - a great strummer, a great fingerpicker, always sounds great. Plays like buttah, wonderful (to me) Mod-V neck profile. Fits me like a glove in every way and after having it nearly a year, it's sounding better and better. I sold my others after I'd had this a little while. I also have a cheap Alvarez that lives 3000 miles away at my daughter's house for when we visit her (assuming we'll get to again someday). But I don't count that one because I never see it. And it would never win over the CEO-7 as "favorite" anyway.

 The above is a 2015 Martin 00-28 custom with Adirondack top. Superb ,well balanced tone and loud for its size.Light in weight . 1 and 3/4 inch neck with 2 and 5/16 string spacing enables finger style playing. This guitar continues to sound better as it gets played.

My favorite acoustic guitar? That's tough. I have 3 at the present time (Taylor 150e, Taylor AD27, and Eastman PCH1-OM), and I like them all. If you base it upon which one gets played the most, it would be the Taylor 150e, since it is my church band guitar, and since I play it at every mass, and spend several hours on Saturdays, practicing the music that will be played for the upcoming weekend's masses.
But, I also very much like my Taylor AD27, and Eastman PCH1-OM, and for non-church related music, those are the guitars I reach for. Which one I reach for depends upon what I want to hear sound-wise that the day. As it is though, I haven't been playing those two guitars much lately. I've been working long hours in recent times, and by the time I get home from work, shower, and finish eating supper, it's well after 8 pm, and having been up since 4:30 am, I've been burned out, with not much energy available for playing guitar.  Taylor 150e (with a Blueridge BR162 I no longer have)  Taylor AD27  Eastman PCH1-OM

My favorites of mine are my Avalon (center), Guild D-120 (left center) and the Larrivee (right center). I play mostly Celtic music now so my J-45 and Martin mostly sit and listen. Once in a while I'll take them out. I should set aside an hour or two a week to play the Gibson and Martin though. I included a better photo of the Avalon. The Avalon is like a Taylor on steroids. The Guild plays over its head, rings out nicely and is balanced and the Larrivee has a rich, mellow tone to it.

I own a SCGC Tony Rice and a Beard MA-6 reso. I think it’s fair to say that both models are pretty much universally respected. As good as they are (and they are great indeed), the best I own is my McIlroy A25c. It’s just a magical instrument. It has a unique sound, it feels great to hold, craftsmanship is terrific, and it looks beautiful. What more could you want?
