Just curious what is your favorite acoustic guitar?
My favorite is the Grand Auditorium Taylor Style.
Of course, It sounds better if it has a red spruce top and braces.
Indian Rosewood back and sides make a nice guitar.

My favorite is always the one I'm playing at the time. It helps a lot if it is an OM with a cedar top on rosewood. |

I would probably say an OM with an adi top and brw back and sides. I'm working on a small L-00 now though so this could change

The OO is my favorite body style. I usually tend to be more of a rosewood-ish kind of guy but I built a 12 fret recently with Honduran Mahogany /Lutz that was pretty special. |

So far? A jumbo Taylor! Wood type is not a specific concern. I like to think I haven't played my favorite yet! There are so many more to try! Kind of impressed with the Carvin 980's though I'm pretty sure they're Korean knock-offs of the Taylor! Notwithstanding price, I would never buy one! I haven't played too many small builder guitars(3) and the ones I have played I have not been impressed! |

Played a Taylor Grand Symphony today. The dealer laid a line on us about the cedar / Mahogany body one. We preferred a Sitka / Rosewood one. Nice guitar. The Grand Auditorium is still my favorite shape right now. The GA sounds great with Adi or Sitka. I've built with both and it's a winning shape and size. |

Grand A or Dred for me. My first real acoustic was a Taylor Dred. Gave it away to my neice, missed it badly. Bought two Martins trying to ease the pain. Sold both and got another Taylor Dred. Then sold it because I remembered I don't play. 
I do love hearing folks play 'em though, and good guitars are an investment to me. They pay and they play. |

Dreads are absolutely my favorite aqcoustic shape. The best one I have ever played or heard was a flamed oregon myrtle I just built and sold (comission). I have ordered 5 more sets of myrtle trying to duplicate the sound I got with that one. |

What top did it have Ken? I doubt it was the myrtle, think about the top? Addy, Sitka, Lutz, cedar, englemann, what type bracing? Dreads are hard to beat. |
