I have several different acoustic guitars, (I guess you can never have too many heh), but with all of the top name brands that Ive acquired over the past several years:
Yamaha, Fender, Gibson, I always tend to go back to my
no name 1988 acoustic, I guess its just very comfortable and for the most part very reliable... (Its my recording guitar, whenever those ideas come out of no one, I guess I like it because I'm so used to its sound, and smell.) Don't be a snob when it comes to acoustics...I have this 1950 Yamaha Nylon string guitar, it has a beautiful sound to it, it plays like brand new. Since I learned how to play guitar on this model, I always seem to go back to it when in doubt. Before I familiarized myself with a guitar pick, I concentrated very religiously on playing finger style, the combination of boith my right and left hands. Its a very natural feel, and throughout everything, (playing the guitar should should be a very natural experience.)
I have an
Ibanez electric, A Peavey Raptor, A Jackson, but my favorite would have to be my
Fender Stratocaster. I love to sit back and play for hours without any interuptions and without any prohibitations. With the strat I can just rely on my natural instincts where I dont have to tie myself down to just one particular style. Next is a
PRS, if only I could pry my wallet open with that darn crow bar, ohh but I'm almost there.
