Looks suspiciously like a Triumph Bonneville Bobber to me.....

It is a Bobber Black.

I'm in the "the one that I'm enjoying playing in the moment" camp a lot of the time.

Still, my worn old Seagull Folk is likely the one that I've felt that way about the most often. Light weight, wide and thick big ol'neck, and that classic Godin Wild Cherry/Cedar recipe. No pictures, but then it started out plain looking and it is now quite worn from its years making its player feel good.

As said by others, it is the one in my lap.
In a fire I would grab the Aria A-560 classical. After 50 years it is a trusted friend, and it sounds great.
I play the most: 2003 Tacoma Orpheum OM -26 a little deeper body auditorium that gives a little more bass
Best guitar: 1998 Taylor 414
Campfire guitar: 1960s Harmony Broadway arch-top. Too beat up to worry about hurting it more. Great to have for certain occasions

At this point in time it's my Seagull CH momentum cedar top, laminate cherry back and sides, 1.8in nut its full sounding, a big voice, clear toned until you dig in and then the cedar top has a nice OD/growl tone that I like, this isn't my first cedar topped guitar and it won't be my last,
Looking at the Eastman E20OM CD for a solid bodied cedar topped OM next

Later when he passed I commissioned John to build me one, it's dedicated to Dad on the inside of the top and I got to spec neck size, purfling, inlay, etc.

Put a couple mics on it for recording and the sound is huge. John's retired so there are no more. Love the John How LBC.

Nice story and a beautiful guitar. What a special remembrance of your father.

Here are a couple pictures of my favorite. A custom Taylor GS. Bearclaw top, Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. Koa and ebony on the rosette and binding (ebony arm bezel), with boxwood added in the fretboard. A beauty and the best sounding. Love it.

Pretty spoiled - I have 3 favorites.

All have their own extremely pleasant voices!

[nweekes]

Definitely my Taylor Leo Kottke 12 and 6.

Both have a beautiful low deep tone but the 12 rumbles as it is tuned to C and strung 13-56.

I’m trying to attach a picture but it’s not letting me.

Difficult choices for me. Descriptions in signature
