What would you say is your most treasured guitar now?

I am at two right now. I'd like to add a rosewood 12 fret dreadnaught, but it'll be awhile before that will happen.

8 Electrics (with nine amps) and 8 acoustics (one being a dobro).

I've got 4, but I just bought my son a G-45 to match mine and he already had a couple of cheap(but surprisingly great sounding) Harley Benton's.

Probably gonna sell a couple though; buyers remorse, haha!

You fit nicely together with the majority of members here owning 4-5 guitars.

I have 1 classical, 1 classical with low tension steel strings, 1 OM/OOO, 1 parlor (more or less a OO) and a nylon silent guitar (slg200N ) with low tension steel string. A total of five, a full hand of happiness

I've let some of my electrics go when i quit gigging a couple years ago, but I still keep a few faves. Currently 4 plus an electric bass.
Acoustic, I currently own 4 including my first, a Regal 200, given to me on my birthday, 1967. Also, a resonator, a cheap mandolin, and my dad's Kay Crackless bass

I didn't see this question when it was asked. I would say currently my new 00018 is king but I'm still on a honeymoon with it. Generally my Gibson AJ gets top billing too.

As far as electrics My Gibson ES175 gets plenty of play time. I'm in the market for an ES335 or similar semi. That might bump the 175 in rotation.

I'm seriously considering an Eastman T486 but can't find a dealer that has one to check out.

Acoustics: 3 dreads, 2 OMs, 1 jumbo (12 string), 1 GC cutaway, 1 GA, 1 000

Electrics: 2 Teles, 1 Starfire

Most treasured? '73 Guild D44M and 2008 American Standard Tele

We get attached to these things. I had a circa 1900 Washburn parlor guitar. Brazilian RW, pyramid bridge, ivory buttons. It was a mystical creature with endless sustain. Unfortunately it couldn't hold up to aggressive playing. The bridge cracked, the soundboard cracked. It didn't sound the same after I had it repaired so I moved it along. That one was my favorite acoustic at a time when I owned about 35 acoustics. I'd leave it out on a stand and play it constantly.

I have two guitars but soon to be one.

I have way more bicycles, however.

When my wife comments on my guitars, usually bikes and skis get into the same discussion. And fly rods...

4 of my 10 are unplayable and should be fixed and leave, I need to deal with it. And my Martin M36, great guitar that is, gets no love, it needs to go also. If I could ever get rid of these 5, I'd add a resonater and a custom Cedar topped guitar. 4 of my other guitars see almost daily play. My ES335 sits in the closet, but I'll never part with it, waiting for an electric moment to stir me.
