I like your fave.   I don't really have any go to guitars.   My guitars kind of go in and out of favor.   I have a bunch ready for GDg, and I like every one.   I have one for EBe or DAd, two for CGc, one for ADF# and my beat up old White Owl for DGB.  That's a fave for sure. 

 

I have two in the bathroom, one at work, one in the shop, one at my moms.   Gees, some of you drop by and maybe I can part with a few.

This is Lizzy my main guitar for jamming.
She has a maple neck with red oak fretboard with jumbo frets / brass fret dots and brass side dots and has a brass nut
A Purple Heart bridge with brass saddle/ 1 neck pickup /1 volume /1 tone and a killswitch mounted in a Purple Heart wood plate.
She has add on wings made of maple and all stuffed into an Acid box.

I first called her Acid Rock but after playing her in a band for 3 months she has gotten the nickname Lizzy because she's such a great Ax

Are we allowed to change our mind on choice? Cause I'm gonna. I started noodlin' around with "F-clops" reso again and had forgotten how versatile was (standard and open tuning)

Lots of good stuff here in all flavors.  Thanks for sharing everybody. Kind of a loaded question to this crowd, who by my estimation will have built a CBG for every man, woman and child on the planet by 2016 ;) Thumper already changed his mind!  Love the Dixie Maid Thump.

I like how these guitars fit with each of you nicely.  Vinyl with the big box 6, Bad Finger and the sawzall, Oily is working his way through the stack..

My "go to" guitars have to meet certain criteria, for some reason some have songs in that have to come out, and/or sound good live :-)

Good point Steve.  My go-to is tailored for me at home recording and it doesn't really work as well live (just yet).

Not long ago a Strat and D-28 lived here now its the land of misfit guitars and other rejects and one orphan. I been playing  the 4 string in the middle, it's the last one I built and I'm  still tweakin' it and I need to set the fret and side markers and seal and clear it. But the round reso has done the most recording. A lot of different sound right there.

That's a clean group of boxes right there.  The lack of soundholes jumps out - I've been toying with plugging the hole in mine to help with feedback.  Based on your recordings and a recent Jim Morris uke, I think I'll go without a hole next time.
