It would be my Ovation 2007 Collectors guitar. It has a great sound. And the bear claw spruce top is just fantastic to look at.

My best playing/feeling guitar is my 2006 Fender MIM HSS Strat. However my favorite guitar for sentimental reasons is the 2006 MIM Tele that my son surprised me with. Here is the link for the post I created when he gave it to me.

I have 3 favorites for 3 different situations.
My Gibson ES-330 is my favorite unplugged - it just sounds so nice and has good high fret access
My Epiphone Casino sounds the best plugged in with the Duncan P90s
My modded ESP with GFS Mean 90s and a Varitone is my favorite gigging guitar because of it's versatility. One of the Mean 90s is RPRW so when selecting both they become a big humbucker, the varitone can make it sound almost like a Fender, and having one volume control near my picking hand makes it easy for me to blend or stand out.

I like my 1980 "The STRAT" on the left. It's a nitro Oly White with the 22K gold plating over all of the hardware, on the Brassmaster bridge and extra big block too. It has 9 factory sounds and a rare stock X-1 bridge pickup. Also has a shallow V neck and a weird approximated Strat headstock made without a template, and painted. I'm doing a build to play like it without wearing it much, not finished, but have the custom-made shallow V-neck in flamed maple and lotsa lacquer, gold Grovers & brass nut. Since I haven't finished the clone, I have a second favorite, same color-scheme MIA which I play. That 2002 MIA "Angel" also replaced "Blondie" with the gold guard, played unendingly, the most, 1993 - '02 and retired.

My favorite changes from time to time. Usually it's one of my resonators, though.

I have two, and I couldn't possibly bear to part with either of them. The MIM Tele....
...and the SPT Acoustic.
:D :D :D

Hey Vic, do you have have your Squier Tele? I almost pulled the trigger on one a while back at GC. I went back for it and it was gone. :(

Yes - I use it for slide these days, though. Mine's the Squier Tele Custom - humbuckers instead of single coils. Nice guitar - I bought it when I was looking for a Fender Tele, it actually felt and sounded better than the Fenders I tried. Must have been the maple fretboard - the Fenders all had mahogany!
:D :D :D

That's right, I couldn't remember exactly which model it was you had. I saved an image from their website while I was thinking about it. It looks like it was the same model.
Jim
That would have to be my acoustic. Taylor 414ce. God I love that guitar.

I've got two, and one of them is my favorite. The black Custom. It would be the one if I could only have one. The other one needed much adjusting to get playable and does play pretty decently. Either one would be fine and probably could not feel the difference if they had the same string gauges.
