Here's mine. It's a student-level flamenca by Raimundo with a few mods such as tuners with ebony buttons, bone nut and saddle, and ultra-low action. :)

Bearclaw figure (!) and clear tap plate

Flamed maple or sycamore back and sides

Yamaha DW-10, don't know a thing about it, but it blew away the other acoustics in the shop. Got such a nice bright and punchy tone, recently opened up like an awesome thing. So cool.

I love my acoustic, if i could play only one guitar from now on it might be my acoustic. It needs a name though.

Also posted elsewhere, but here's my Antonio Lorca 8M. Made in Valencia from mahogany (back, sides, and neck), spruce (top) and rosewood (fretboard).

No pictures of my actual guitars I'm afraid, but my acoustic collection is a matching pair of these:

I play acoustic in all my own gigs (the electrics come out for when I play with others) as it's just me, the acoustic and nothing else. Live music with no saftey net :D

I love the playability of Taylors but don't like the sound, whilst I love the sound of Martins but have yet to find one that I can happily play for a 4 hour gig!

This is what I found as the best of both worlds

It's a Limited Edition Larrivee LV-19E with the blender on-board electrics so it's wonderfully plug and play straight into the PA. That's a solid Rosewood back and sides too which gives it a trully mammoth open acoustic sound. :D

This is my 6 string acoustic. It's an Ibanez something or other. I can't remember.

Like Twinfan, I don't have a pic of my own guitar, but here's a "stock photo" (as they say on eBay).

I have a Lakewood D-1, pretty much identical to this D-14 but with different tuners:

Crafter D6 -

Only about £100 but it sounds great.

Go on Ben, I bet you've got one hidden away somewhere for those sensitive moments.

Here's mine:

Yam APX4 A electro acoustic. Served me very well over many years of open mic nights - excellent guitar for the small amount of money I paid for it.

well as some of you may have guessed i made mine myself!!!

It was from one of these kits - the bolt-on rosewood model
http://www.stewmac.com/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?action=SERVE&G=1&sku=5295&ITEM=catalog/sku.html&CURRENCY=GBP

The current price of those is killing me!!

It was a few years ago now and was slightly rushed and has a few errors on it - i had particular problems with the binding on it because i had never bound owt that wasnt flat before. Anyway - a quick oil an wax finish and it was ready to play...... except it wasnt. It sounded dull and lifeless for around 3 months then jumped to life.

It has an incredibly poweful sound thanks to the nearly non-existent finish - although i think it may have been some tackiness in the oil that kept it dull for a few months, as well as needing a good break in.

I dont do much acoustic stuff but want to practice some of the techniques to get them into my electric stuff and i would love to do a proper posh archtop at some point!!

I don't have a photo of my acoustic guitars, but here's a picture of somebody else's Washburn R305S which looks just like mine:

I bought this when I was (very) briefly playing in an acoustic duo with a friend; it's got a low action and a very punchy sound, perfect for fingerpicking. I also have a '70s Cimar copy of a Gibson Hummingbird which currently lives at my brother's house for songwriting and demoing purposes. Googled picture of an identical guitar:

Both of my acoustics were cheap, cheerful impulse purchases which have served me well over the years; but I'm not much of an acoustic player to be honest, and they only come out at parties these days.
