Man, there are some gorgeous looking guitars in this thread! I feel quite envious, unfortunately we dont see many like these down here. Just as well because I would probably have to mortgage the house, the cat and the dog to be able to afford one!

My LTG... by far... but that's just my personal opinion.

Then we'll be sure to keep the thread going for you...

In fact, since the rules now state that we can show multiple pictures of 1 or 2 of our favorite guitars... here's the second most beautiful guitar i've seen.. Ken Parker's Mrs. Natural...

Here's an all around favorite of mine - an earlier one of Mike Baranik's guitars than those posted earlier in the thread. In fact, this one was made for Healdsburg in 2001, one of the first couple of CXs he built. This one is done in Madrose and Red Cedar, with Maple binding and a Madrose fretboard. Wonderful sounds just fly out of this thing effortlessly.

YIKES! Madly beautiful Maple - love the rosette, backstripe that follows the neck lamination up and other subtle decoration. Very nice!

I wish I had pictures, but I don't. There have been many over the years, but one that sticks out in my mind is a relatively recent Charis GC florentine in Camatillo RW and Engelmann. Danny at APM had it for quite a while on his site, and the video recordings were pretty incredible. Seems like maybe a forum member bought it, but I can't remember for sure.
