I enjoy all of mine but the D18 would be the last one you'd be able to pry out of my hands.

Martin D-1 Authentic 1931. And I thought I was a rosewood fan.

Depends on my mood and what music I'm playing. Each excels differently.

For me it's likely my Seagull Artist Studio Deluxe. I play all my guitars at least once a week but the one that combines the best tone and play-ability is definitely that one. A couple of others come VERY close, but, if I had to take only one it would be the Deluxe.

Martin D-1 Custom all-mahogany based on the D-1 Authentic. It's the newest, lightest, has the biggest tone and is the most comfortable of the four I own. I practice daily unplugged so that get's grabbed nearly all the time. Unless I have a gig coming up. Then I grab one of the Cole Clarks and plug in since that is what I play with live.

I haven't play my steels since around Christmas. Its been all Cordoba C5. I'm trying to get this right hand tone thing down with nylon and I don't want to mix it up too much at this point.

But my favorite is my Avalon.

Mine is definitely the Lowden. I love the tone and the sustain. I don't find the African Blackwood incredibly beautiful for the eyes, but the ears love it.

Searched for many moons to find one of my grail guitars - it was well worth the hunt and the wait. Some things DO meet expectations.

1937 Martin 00-18 SB

I’ve learned that favorite is different from best. I have some really amazing guitars, but the one I’m most connected to is my Collings OM2HSRA. I like everything about it and it is the guitar I automatically go to without thinking.

Much like my kids, they're all my favorites.
