    My humble Epiphone Sorrento 1962 RI has been getting the job done nicely for the last 3 years.

    My #1. Trevor Gore classical. It has a pure, bright tone and is a joy to play.

    I’m primarily a classical player, but with a growing interest in chord-melody. I particularly love Ted Greene’s playing and hope to learn more about such jazz in the next few years.

    I'd be remiss if I didn't post about my L5ces. This is the guitar I knew I'd never have. But fortunately (!) it has a couple of blemishes in the finish that significantly lowered the price without detracting at all from its stunning beauty, playability, and tone. The price was right, I had the cash, and I pounced. I have never regretted it.

    But the staining also kept me from treating this guitar like a case queen. It's out 24/7 and I play it literally every single day. Like me, it has a few blemishes, and like me, I hope it just makes it more lovable!

    It has Culbertson's signature in it and the date of January 17, 2015.

    Honestly, this guitar is as close to perfection as I could ever ask. At one point actually I replaced the wiring harness (not the pickups) and have loved the results. Maybe it had been modified earlier, I don't know, and don't care. The replaced wiring harness really brought this instrument into the heavenly sphere for me.

    This is the guitar I play most. Rancourt 15" Modern Signature. It's the finest acoustic archtop I've ever played, and I've had high-end Gibsons, Andersens, Victor Baker, etc. I sold my other archtops after I got this. Smaller in size, but it sounds bigger than any 17" carved guitar I've had. Huge dynamic range, every note is balanced and it's easy to play. My first guitar with a sound port on the side...it's great!

    I’ve heard a few recordings of Rancourts than really impressed me. I haven’t seen a larger body Rancourt, but I would like to hear one.

    I totally agree. I don't even see the blemishes and they seem to fade every time I spend time playing the guitar.

    Since folks are posting more that one, I don't feel so conflicted.

    1949 L5-P and a G&L ASAT Special.

    I've only had this a couple of months but it's quickly moved to the top of the rotation. I went about a decade with an MIM Thinline (avatar) as my main guitar...at one point I got down to it being my only guitar. As I've accumulated more guitars, I ended up putting a humbucker-sized CC and heavy flats on that one.
    So this is a slightly more up-scale version of what that one used to be.
    It's one of the thin-skin models which should age nicely. Lightweight at 5.15 lb. Resonant.
    I swapped in compensated brass saddles since this picture from the dealer.
    I've really grown attached to it.

    I really like that ASAT. I got one of those recently, too. Just that the one above has taken most of my attention. The neck pickup on the ASAT is really something special. I need to spend some more time with it.

    I have to cheat and mention 3 that are getting the most play right now:

    1. I’ll join the chorus of praise here for the ES 175 ‘59 Reissue VOS. Mine is a 2015 with MHS pickups. It sounds perfect, and I love the fat ‘50’s neck. I actually considered selling my L5CES for a bit after I bought this. I’m glad I kept both, but this is my workhorse jazz guitar.

    2. This Hermanos Camps Primera Blanca flamenco guitar is the lightest, most resonant and responsive instrument I have ever played. This may actually be my very favorite guitar. I was lucky enough to get a great deal on it last year. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a reasonably priced high quality flamenco. It is so much better than the comparably priced Cordoba, etc. This is the real deal.

    3. My MIM Classic 50’s lacquer Telecaster. I swapped a set of Biltoft Vintage Vibe pickups into it. I can’t put it down.

    I’m baffled as to why this site always wants to flip my pictures. And, I can’t seem to get rid of the inverted ones after I have fixed them.

    Wow there are some real beauties in this thread. Not sure my contribution will stand up with these, but it's my jewel. Has been spending way too much time in its case ever since I bought the archtop....

    Great builder, and nice guy! He built this Jazz Solid for me (had to twist his arm a little bit to do the green finish haha, but he ended up liking how it came out), and I also had an archtop nylon string he built which is a really great model, great sound and nice features in between a real classical and an archtop. And I briefly had a B120, also an amazing guitar. He’s real knowledgeable and easy to work with, and fair with pricing for what you get, if you were looking to have him build something for you
