Hm, probably a tossup between my Guild F50 (on six) and my F512 (12er). The 512 of course has the advantage of twice as many strings.

Not an acoustic but my SG with the tone, volume, and amp cranked up to 10.

I can hear dad yelling at me to "TURN THAT THING DOWN".

Martin d-28 Authentic 1937 was by far the loudest guitar I've ever played. It had a lovely tone, but if you're strumming with a pick and singing you better have a strong voice.

The loudest guitar I ever owned was a Collings CW Indian (Adi/EIR). It was like a high performance sports car that I was never quite able to control, and also unbelievably stiff despite setups from two different Techs + the AO1 treatment from Frank Sanns.

To be fair, I owned it during a time when I was still very much evolving as a player and sometimes wonder would it be different if I owned it today. But it is an instrument built for bluegrass and the volume output was ridiculous. Crazy loud!

Martin D1 Authentic 1931, no contest. That includes all the other Martin authentic dreads and Collings D2HT. Not even close, if sheer firepower is your goal, the D1A is your huckleberry.

The two loudest I played were probably a Martin D28AA and my Collings Clarence White.

This! I’ve had Martin, Gibson, and boutique dreads, a Froggy Jumbo, etc. But my D1A is on another level—and I have it strung with lights! Ive had to adjust my playing to compensate. Good news is that it’s very responsive to a light touch, yet still can overpower one’s voice!

Larrivee SD-50 back around 2009. That thing was a beast. It did not take kindly to light gauge strings, and it did not respond well to light fingerpicking with bare fingers and nails. However, with Martin 12.5-55 strings and fingerpicks it produced monster volume. It was a guitar to play hard and sound loud. Lovely instrument, but for a snowflake like me, it was just too much! I passed it along with some regret ...

The loudest guitar I have ever played was a Goodall. I didn't notice the model at that time but I was struck by how loud it was.
