I'd be afraid to take that out of the case, let alone actually put a plectrum to it.   :ohmy:  That's quite a guitar.
Agreed. That's too much for me  :arrow

I love the smell of Spruce in the morning

My NBN gets almost equal play time with my L09.  I know most have not heard of this boutique guitar from the 70's so here's a link www.nbnguitars.com.   My D35 has been on loan to a friend for .... a long time.  I guess I should try to get it back.

My Martin 000-18GE 'burst. My first short scale (24.9) and lovin' it.
Like to see a picture of it or 3.  Danny


...another 'Martin is my other love' guy.  The D18GE for flat-picking.  The D40 for all-around large body balance (and beauty!)

Since my Larrivee's are really the only true acoustics I play, my favorite non-Larrivee is my lefty Warmoth hardtail Strat - Blue Ice Metallic with matching headstock, rosewood board. American Series Strat pickups. Light, resonant; feels and sounds great.

I just bought an OM-35 sunburst in November and it has a really nice balanced tone for fingerstyle and blues.

My parlour is tuned to Open C, 12 string is dropped D, OM-35 Standard, D-35 Open G and Oahu, Open G. My backpacker is in FL with my son for a few days of R&R.

Lately, I waffle between my Santa Cruz and Gibson AJ.
When I grow up I want to own a D-18v or D-18ge, however!

My favorite non-Larrivee would be a Gibson AJ.  The first would be custom guitar from one of several custom guitars makers who I really like in their design and build.
Larrivee OM-03 MQ

I've heard good things about the Breedlove Revival series.  I'd like to try some of those  (I love their mandolins).

                      Just Change the date...What's the diff? Or cut it and start a slightly different one, new members will find this issue intriguing. Danny

Of the guitars I own...
For steel string: McIllroy A25c
For nylon: Yairi classical from 1966. Beautiful tone and playability (even if it's not exactly very accurate any more!)
For electric: Parker Nitefly (though Gibson ES-137 Custom is better for certain things)
Larrivees LV-09, L-05MT and P-03; Lowdens S-7 (1988) (FOR SALE), O-12 (2004)  and Baritone (2009); McIlroys A25c (2003) and A25c custom (2010); Sada Yairi Soloist (1965) - nylon string; Parker NiteFly with Roland GK-2a MIDI pickup; PBC superstrat and 5 string bass; AER Compact 60.

Acutally I have two:



1971 D-18 Martin

and



000-28EC Martin

-Lee

(Bend, OR)

My NEW favorite (next to my Larrivée, of course)



Swamp Ash G & L Tribute S-500, maple neck, rosewood FB. (with a fun little Microcube amp!)



And I just added an all tube Valveking 112 amp.

My favorite is the Martin D41 Special followed by either a Taylor 614 or the Taylor 714 with the cedar top.

The Taylor X14 series uses lite strings and they are set low for easy playability.  So when you have been playing for an extended period of time the Taylors are a little bit easier on your fingers.  They are also a good choice when recording.   Outside of this I prefer the Martin or a Larrivee
