Mine would have to be my 614.  I've owned it for so long, it's like an old friend, instead of an instrument.  I certainly have a bond with it.  I know that most people could not live with a maple guitar as their only one, but I could.  To me, there is something special about it.

I don't have a favorite. I love 'em all. They are all different in sound and feel, and they are all a delight to play.

My GC8 at the moment - mainly because I just got it and am having a blast exploring fingerstyle tunes that I am just learning or have not played in many years.

I do think I still need a GS though one of these days...

I have bought, sold, and traded about 10 Taylers in the last 4 years, and I keep coming back to my 1999 710.  It is the first Taylor I purchased, and I just love everything about it.  In my search for my "next" Taylor, I finally realized I was looking for something better than my 710.  When I stopped looking to replace my favorite guitar, I found I was very happy with the small collection I had.

I'm still kind of new to my Taylor and I am loving it more every day, but my Guild D-50 has to be my choice. I've had it for so long it's like a part of me. It has such a big bold sound and I am very familiar with it. Plus it has some sentimental value too. It was my first really great guitar and my mom bought it for me as a college graduation gift.  You ought to hear it with new strings! Just awesome.

Definitely the GS8.

Man, do I ever want one of those Cujo's!!!!!

For me, I'm influenced by whatever I've bought latest.  Realistically though, my latest instrument, an RT Style 1 12-string (sitka/maple), speaks to me like no other instrument I've put in my hands.  It is truly an amazing instrument that is incredibly lightweight, and loud, loud, loud!
