My 50 year old Aria A-560 is a beauty and sounds better and better.

My most attractive guitar is also my most recent one.

Default Still have the most attractive guitar you've owned?

Yes and no; sold my '73 D-45 back in the early-2K's (for all the wrong reasons), picked up one of these in June '18 - and it's not going anywhere:

I'm guessing my best-looking guitar is the one with the cedar top. And yes, I still own it.

Steve, love that White Falcon. It's gorgeous.

Plenty of other eye-candy here, too.

For bling, I vote for the Guild D 55/ F 50/ F512 ornaments as the classiest bling. I still have a 512, but these days my preferences are for less bling. I really like the appointments on my Martin D 14 though.

This would be the prettiest I've ever owned. She's been up for sale at Wildwood Guitars as a result of some financial issues. Some of those issues have resolved though and I'm having serious second thoughts. We'll see what the near future holds, she might be coming home some day if she doesn't sell soon.

By whatever definition of good looks you prefer, do you still have the most visually attractive guitar you've owned?

I consider my Guild F512 to be the handsomest of them all, and still have it. I will add that numbers 2 and 3, both Lowdens, are long gone.


Yes. A beautiful Taylor GS8 which I acquired in 2006. [emoji5]

Yup....2004 Martin OM-42 Koa. Love the bling, the koa is spectacular looking and the sound is perfect. Gig with it too.

Yes, but too busy to snap photos.

It's my blinged-out Eastman OM-40.

I realized after buying it how shamelessly ostentatious it is, and probably won't pull the trigger on something like this again. Not that I'm shy. I'd just rather attract attention by HOW I'm playing and not WHAT I'm playing (no criticism of anyone in this thread). I'm also too paranoid of that crestfallen feeling that comes with the first ding.
