Very nice guitars Yam!  I just have the one to mess around on when I can't plug in an electric.  :P

I got it real cheap on ebay and it actually plays very nice.  Too bad it doesn't sound as nice.  Probably cr@p wood which is why they covered it with black paint.

Takamine EN40c .. Tossing up the idea of having an acoustic built by Rob Armstrong though before I go back to Australia.

Crafer D6 and some cheap ukelele bought on holiday in hawaii

Crafter sounds ok, its nice when you're playing it, but when you listen to someone else play, or record, and it sounds really thin and bright/twangy :( I want to get a different one, something that does a warmer, woodier sound

I don't have any acoustics now, but until recently I owned this Lakewood D-1:

Busker MM Blues Resonator. Superb guitar, wide chunky neck, bell brass body, huge sound. I call mine Potemkin, because it is the colour and the weight of a battleship!
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k7/andys_01/BuskerBluesAngle1.jpg)

Simon and Patrick Dreadnought. Got used for a good price. Lovely tone, refitted with wider bone nut, and Fishman pickup.
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k7/andys_01/SPfrontshot2.jpg)

Bouzouki. Had this for years, fitted with a magnetic pickup. Gets an airing now and then.
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k7/andys_01/Bouzouki1.jpg)

Mandola. Often gets taken on holiday, as a small instrument to keep my fingers exercised. Nice tone, tuned in a Celtic tuning.

Ibanez Exotic Woods Padauk model.

Great sounding guitar, although the neck has been giving me a few problems, seems like its bowing out a bit.

It's actually a quite pretty, deep red, but it doesn't show up well in this photo at all.

Here's mine, a Yamaha APX 4A, which I don't really play enough.

I have a stew-mac kit acoustic:
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/wv17.jpg)

My 50's framus?? archtop waiting for a neck reset and new frets/fretboard but still loads of fun as it is... till you get to the 7th fret or beyond:
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/new/XL803964.jpg)

i also have an old brunswick 12 string and a randon classical thats been re topped for steel strings and currently only suitable for slide since the neck didnt like the steel strings :) ;)  It also got stripped back and dyed blue and green a long time ago

I also have an old 1880's?? banjolele that i found in a shed - still needs some work to get right... but i will get around to it eventually

Thanks mate, it plays like a dream. I'm a bit ashamed to say haven't played it much lately, I must make the effort.
I bet that jumbo has a big old sound! I picked up this Tanglewood for next to nothing about 15yrs ago. It's a TW460SN(whatever that is). Laminated top, been used & abused but still plays and sounds pretty good for a cheapish guitar.

I've here a Bear Claw spruce top... I bought by impulse, this is the most figured I've ever seen... Not sure what I will do with it... :?

save it, you will find a use sooner or later!

i have a few archtop sets even though i still dont feel near doing any archtops from scratch... it will be nice to have well seasoned wood available and ready when i do!!
