My first was an electric and there are lots of things I would like to change. So my favorite has to be the acoustic I'm making now; at least until it's done then my favorite will probably be the next one ;)

I've liked all of them though I will say that the few Sinker redwood-coco/EIR guitars I built were pretty special....single and double-tops. They looked like these.

This one. My first archtop--and the realization of a thirty year dream.

This coco / Italian steel string is probably my best sounding one to date.

This one comes to mind although I like most all of them. This is my road trip demo guitar and has made a couple trips around the US and has been played well by many people so it has been "played in" so to speak. I like it because it reminds me of an old Froggy Bottom that I played years ago in Gryphon Music, Palo Alto, Ca. That guitar was so responsive and light, it just felt very good in my hands and this one feels like that too. Currently it resides next to my easy chair.
Here is a little tune by Doug Young, one of the road trip participants.

Oh wow! I like the looks of the guitar.......and the sound is killer! Is this an OM sized guitar joined at the 12 fret or a 00 or what? I really like the sound of this one......as good as any OM I've heard. How did you have the guitar mic'd for the recording? Can you post more pictures or give more detail on the design of this one? Very nice.
