Which is the best-sounding acoustic guitar you own?
As the title states, curious what folks think their favorite or best-sounding guitar is. Feel free to provide as much info as you'd like including year, make, model, wood, body shape, etc

The best sounding guitar I own is a 2015 Froggy Bottom D12, followed by a 2015 Gibson New Vintage Ultimate J200.
The guitar I enjoy playing most...and I play it every day and gig with is my Tacoma built Guild D55...the only guitar I'd never part with. Sold a Martin D45 to get the Guild and never looked back. Had a Bourgeois OMS which sounded fantastic but wasn't the easiest guitar to play even with a great set up. Tone is everything but without a 'chemistry'... |

I don’t have one ‘best-sounding’ guitar. All four are ‘best-sounding’ at different times and for different reasons, depending on what I’m playing and under what circumstances.

No contest for me since I only have the two.
The 000-18 is the clear winner.

The Guild D-55 I bought new in 1977.
It's got everything! I like it even more than my 2001 Martin HD-28 - which is a very fine guitar. Last edited by Tico; 07-09-2020 at 04:54 PM. |

Can't answer this question as I have too much variety in my stable.

Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged takes the cake.

I think all of mine sound good, but I prefer the tone of my J-45 and OM-28.

My 2011 HD28 rules the roost.

I love all of my guitars but of the ones in my sig I would have to go with the D18.

I have four nice acoustics and, as someone said earlier, they are all the best sounding within their niche. So I thought of your question differently-the age old “Which would you save in a fire?”
After careful consideration I’d go down in flames....
