gregl , I'm a little more fickle... at this point I'd choose the guitar I've had the shortest time.... the 514ce-LTD.....
I used to think I was a large body guitar man, but this GA is my small body guitar, and I'm not thinking about dreads so much these days....

I don't HAVE to let any go, and that makes me very pleased.

Trigger's brother or sister? Cousin? Seriously, what brand/vintage is it?

I have been away from "home" for two months with only one guitar, my Cole Clark Angel2. Not complaining, but I am starting to itch to get home for a little playing variety.

I had no bucket list so I picked up the guitar... and my life changed for the better.

Late 50's Harmony. All solid wood, sweet guitar.

Greg Ballantyne, I found your post with the photos of your 514ce back when you first got it - what a beauty - no wonder it's the one (will go back and read through the entire thread later)! I'm used to playing a dread and really like the size - although I've been sampling some (gull) folk and CH models at a local shop to see if I like them but still not sure.

gregl, it's a great guitar. While I am still thinking about guitars with some different tonewood combinations, and will likely go for a couple more, I'm thinking that the cedar/granadillo in that 514ce-LTD may end up keeping that favored status even when challenged......

El Gull,TonyKgull, I did not get into the shop in town on Sat. Soon I will, however, and will take advantage of the opportunity to feed your GAS.... I'll be checking out the Hog/Koa/Tasmanian Blackwood combinations, and describe them with excruciating detail......

This guitar looks like it might have a story or two to tell.... the sort that would be great to listen to.....

Mine would definitely be my 1962 D-21. I've had it for over 40 years and will never part with it.

About 38 years ago - Clay is 41 now.

A couple of years ago - same guitar

Jim , Great "Then & Now" photos. Wow that ol' D-21 has been more than a guitar for the last 38 years - it's a member of your family - and a part of your family history ! Like !
