Location: Illinois, U.S.A. | This is not a question of which guitar you would own if you could, or which guitar in your collection is your favorite-sounding or best-looking. Which guitar do you keep out on the stand at home for a quick relaxing moment as the opportunity presents itself.
Mine is a thirty-year-old, made-in-Japan, nylon-stringed Takamine C-128 I bought used on eBay for $212 .... I play it every day. Thirty years of aging seems to have compensated for its humble construction. My other gems I keep cased, and retriving one is more of a ritual, so they don't get played as often. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Varies over time. Currently it's a U681-12str, but lately a Martin 1T tenor uke and an OM-42 have been getting a lot of play. The OA is on the chair in back of me, since I only got it yesterday it's benefiting from the newness factor. Dave |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I don't have one next to the chair, but I keep my classical along side of the bed. The wife likes it when I play it in the dark. The others stay in humidified cases until I take them out to play. |

Location: NJ | A '77 C136S Takamine classical that Beal had pulled outta' Charlie's basement.
It's just such a light, comfortable guitar t'play when you're used to heavy roundbacks. It's like cradling a small animal, and puts out such a BIG sound for it's relative size. It's an awesome fingerstyle guitar. I mainly use it for figuring/working out tunes. It's great for traveling too, as it's (in a padded gigbag) very airplane-friendly & doesn't take up a lot of space in a loaded car. |
