You heard me! I'll go first :)

I'm pretty enamored with this one - I don't deserve something this nice, but maybe I will one day :D

Just one?!?!   It's hard to pick one and it also depends on what week, how the stars are aligned and who knows what else?  But ok.  I'll play.

Since it's this forum and I saw Steve playing it on a Live Lesson, so he is somewhat responsible9_9, I'll post this one.  My 1972 Gibson 325:

My favourite is a 1989 Korean Squier strat. Sometimes you're lucky enough to find a guitar that feels and plays just right for you. This is the one guitar that I'd never part with. These "S" serial Squiers are becoming quite sought after these days.

Well, I don't like to say favorite!  But this is the guitar that still stuns me whenever I get it out.  A PRS Hollowbody II.

And Cap you should be stunned.  One stunning guitar.  I had asked you before about HB's.  I didn't move on the one before.  And didn't move Sunday on the one at CME simply because it was way out of my budget!  I get home and find one on Reverb a 2-3 hour drive from my house! It has "Archtop" pickups.  Do you haave any thoughts on those?  And it is "Whale Blue" finish which I think is a little darker than yours.

Here's my favourite, a 2016 Taylor Big Baby (BBT).  Nothing fancy ... but it is mine.  Why do I love it so much? Well, it's the first guitar I ever went and played and bought based on sound and feel. Almost everything that I know musically, I learned on this guitar.  

Oh, and I'll never forget how my wife and son had the whole music store laughing with multiple variations on the line "Look, our big baby wants his own Big Baby!".

I recently bought a Strat to move into the world of electric guitar but I've mostly found that it has inspired me to play my Taylor even more... go figure.

I'm not sure about PUP's.  I didn't get to demo anything - bought mine on the internet.  I love the blue, but there are reports of the PRS blue guitars fading if left out in the open.  I keep mine in the case.

Here's my old timer. I've had it since summer of 1984 but I'm its third owner.

This is my all-time favorite. Breedlove Oregon Concert, all Myrtlewood. I've been lucky enough to own a Goodall Koa concert jumbo with cedar top, which was an incredible guitar. This one isn't as loud as the Goodall, but the tone blows me away every time I play it, which is pretty much every day. It's so rich and resonant, and balanced as well. I almost passed it by when I was shopping, assuming the light wood would produce a somewhat brittle tone focused on the highs, similar to maple. I was dead wrong and count my blessings that I tried it out on a whim.

I play this guitar more than any other guitar I have. Plays well  and sounds great. But I rarely plug it in to my amp.

This is my modified Traveler Guitar.

I am travelling weekly for work and I was looking for a guitar that fits in a suitcase or an airline overhead compartment.

So this is the solution I found. The center part is the original Traveler Guitar Ultra Light. It is full scale, but has no headstock as the tuning machines are relocated into the body. To make it more confortable to play, I made a detachable upper-arm support and a lap rest, that I take off for travelling.

This Frankenstein is not my best guitar (that would be my PRS), but without it, all those nights in business hotels would be very boring. That's why it is my favorite anyhow.

Just post a pic of the headstock then.  That'll narrow it down to... all of them!

My favorite guitar is usually the one I am holding - but I will go with this one (Collings SoCo Deluxe):

I have a few guitars 9_9,  and they are all so much fun and different in their own ways... 

But my very favorite is Curley... my 1933 Gibson L-OO...

Restored by the best and most talented luthier! B|

Beautiful guitar!  I would imagine that luthier sports a large beard at times?  I go back and forth between a quality 00-14 fret and the L-00 for a "couch potato" acoustic.  Used Collings C10 Deluxe w/cutaway is a rare bird.

Plantsman, I'm glad you asked.  We assumed the same "best and most talented luthier" but I wasn't sure.:)

My favourite electric guitar is in my profile photo, so for this I’ll use my favourite acoustic one: a replica of Paul McCartney 1964 Texan.

This is my prettiest. It was my 50th birthday present from my wife (though she had little to do with choosing it :D).

My favourite, though, is the acoustic in my profile pic, it was my first 'proper' acoustic. It's a Martin DX1R. It's the cheapest dreadnought that Martin does I think and it doesn't even have real wood back and sides, but it sounds great and I play it almost every day.
