Most of the talk here is on electrics. I'd be interested to see what everyone's using for acoustics. Let's see some pics.

Here's mine:

Ibanez AEG12II

Dean Exhibition 12 string

Michael Kelly Dragonfly fretless bass

Ibanez AEB5 med. scale bass

I wanna see what @FourT6and2 has gotten lately. He was shopping for some real gems recently.

Here's a couple of mine, I have a Sigma dreadnaught (Martin copy) not pictured.

This Larrivee is the latest. It sounds amazing. It had a cracked top so I got it real cheap then got it professionally repaired.

I needed a cutaway for my Django moments. This was a pretty good value.

That Guild looks killer

Thank you. I picked it up 27 years ago… Plays great and a very stable neck.

No picks but my most recent is a Guild F512. Also have a Martin J40, Ovation Angel Step Walnut and a Breedlove Mrytlewood 12. I had a beautiful Breedlove Masterclass 12 in Ebony with Spruce but had a lot of problems with it. Great sounding guitar but bad piece of wood.

Earlier this year I picked up a Guild D-20 and I play that thing constantly. It holds tune and plays incredibly well. The baseline Guild USA models have got to be the best value/quality deal in acoustics out there. The D-20 is an all mahogany dreadnaught so it's warmer sounding with more of a midrange to it. It's actually a really loud guitar. If I want to keep the volume down while singing I go for a real thin pick or use my fingers.

I really love this thing and it definitely has me GASing for another Guild.

I've also got a Takamine EG523SC (pic is not mine but same guitar) that I've had for quite a long time. It's decent, has kind of a wide/scooped tone that can work well in a mix. It plays well enough but sometimes is a little annoying with holding tune and could be better intonation wise. Despite being a jumbo body it is nowhere near as loud as the Guild.

Martin OOO18

1933 Martin 0-17’ on the left, voice of Angels kind of guitar....actual Martin bastard parts mutt on the left. I met a former Martin employee that moved near me and he had a pile of parts he had rescued from the burn pile. I assembled that guitar in a back bedroom from 4 mismatched guitars, did all the bracing and binding. Bridge came from another buddy that worked for Collings. Phenomenal guitar.
