Question What is the best guitar you ever played?

I want to try something new.
NO STORIES, NO EXPLANATIONS!!!!!
Just a simple response.
Name the guitar that was the best you'd ever played
and/or heard.
I bet this thread won't make it one page without
someone trying to tell a story, but let's try it.
Name that guitar, end of story
All around total package for YOU, your favorite.
I'll start

Good answer, George. My Taylor 614CE is the best for me as well.

Worry less about the guitars you want. Play the guitar you have more.
The answer will come, and it will not be what you expect.

A guitar is a tool, and a friend. But it is not the answer.

It is the beginning.

A Goodall Standard with a redwood top and cocobolo body. Absolutely amazing.

Believe it or not, the second best is my Larrivee OM-Forum 12-fret.
