Default Most beautiful Acoustic guitar you've ever seen... post pic(s) of 1 guitar...

Post as many pictures of your 1 (or 2) favorite guitar(s) as you want... but.. just keep it to one or two of your favorite guitars... i know it's hard.. but.. make this thread the ultimate GAS thread by showing the ultimate acoustic guitars.. .....



I have not laid eyes on this guitar... only this picture, but it is by far.... the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen..

Batson... sigh....

I'm going to have to go with my Santa Cruz OM (it's tough to do just one pic as the braz on the back is pretty cool too)

I like simplicity. For me, it's this Baranik Meridian. The contrast of the almost black cocobolo against the clean, white spruce looks incredible. Especially with the colorful accents.

Hi wo...
This one is beautiful front and back...hard to do in one picture...because of the wood on the back & fanned fret design on the front...
I play it several times a week, and love to gig with it...

Having seen this one up close and personal I have to say this is tough to beat. Breathtaking is the word that always comes to my mind when I see it. Oh, and it sounds better than it looks. Michael Bashkin makes a wonderful guitar!

PS. Goodness Larry, 16K posts! We ought to all chip in and get you a coffee mug or something! ;-)

Sorry, I know you said one picture but this warrants 2.

It took me years and many thousands of wasted bucks to finally find these two sisters, a Sergei de Jonge old growth BRW/ADI (left) and her sister a Kathy Wingert Model F German/EIR (right)




since you said front and back I hope this is ok

Need to go with my Stehr, in particular in this photo, because I really love the way the sapwood joins the other wood, and how impeccable the Joe White Poly finish is. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't show the beautiful fretboard, the comfy bevel and the lower bout soundport
