Cool thread and beautiful dreads so far.

Here’s my humble 3, Taylor DN8, Gibson Gospel reissue and an old MIJ
Alvarez that was my dad’s first guitar in the 90s and started my guitar journey as well.

Hopefully a D18 will be added soon.

The dreadnought is one made by Ken Stika in Utah... it is at
the local luthier right now, getting the neck adjusted, something
that creaks looked at and I've worn some some of those "dints"
in some of the frets over the last 18 years...

2018 Martin D-18, 2012ish Fairbanks F-35, and 2005 Taylor 210. Not pictured here is my trusty old 2001 Art & Lutherie Wild Cherry — also a dreadnought size.

I have tried and enjoyed a number of other guitar shapes, but when it comes to what I choose to own, I have always seemed to gravitate to the depth and richness of a dreadnought-sized guitar. Maybe now that I have these, I'll shift to something else.

That said, you'll notice there's not a spruce/rosewood dreadnought here... hmmm...
