I have bought and sold several Guilds over the years.
My current Tacoma built D-55 is also my currant favorite Guild.
Go figure.
If I could afford to get a new F512, that would be up there to.

Well I mean some guitars are definitely unique, but the one that spoke to me was a Westerly D-55 I had obtained last year.
Unfortunately, to maintain the proper playing condition I like, it would've needed a neck reset, refret (replane), and bracing repair. I had to let it go, unfortunately.
One of my DV-72s is definitely a great sounding guitar (I posted a song I used it on here on LTG), but its in the same boat... needs a neck reset and a refret (replane), and new Grover Super Rotomatic tuners. This one, however, I'm going to hold on to. Its spruce top has taken on a shade of golden brown that is unreal... plus it sounds ridiculously good when paired with a higher saddle that allows good break angle.
My JF-100 is kind of a let down as it is. It definitely needs a neck reset, replane, and it HAS to have a loose brace or something because it simply sounds like a dead box as it is. Once again, with a higher saddle, it sounded better, but I maintain that a brace has to be loose somewhere.
The D-100 and other DV-72 are still at Guild in Nashville, but the final ETA is some time this month, so I'm really looking forward to that.
My DV-52. 
And the sweet NOS Starfire II I shoulda bought a couple years ago when it was still hanging in the music store

Well, I've only two left, the others all had to go to new homes...danged economy...and neither quite fits either the electric or the acoustic category completely,
The mid 80's FS4612CE would be closest to electric...
The early 90's Songbird would be closest to acoustic...
And I'm equally fond of both of them... :wink:

D50, D25, and the jumbo 12 string.
My F50R when I'm in an acoustic mood.
And my X-170 when I'm in an electric mood.
But if I get the D-55 I'm jonesing for, then maybe that will be the one.
Why does it have to be a "favorite"? If we used "favoriteS", then every one we have would fill the bill, no?

Westerly era DV6. An absolutely fantastic & highly underrated guitar.
I love my F112 equally.

F-47 (Smitty) at the moment. The nicest sounding mahogany guitar I have played.

Right now, I'd say it's a tie between the two Guilds I have - a CV-2C and a Tacoma-built DV-4. Haven't had any Westerlies or Coronas to compare them to.

I'm loving my new-to-me F-50R right now, but still love the other two. When I finally get the neck reset done on the D-50, it'll probably go back to the head of the class.

I don't have much a choice in dreads...between the D25 and the DV4 I suppose I lean towards the D25 more and more because of it's big big sound, and because the neck feels a lot more comfortable to me. The DV4 suffers in comparison. As for electrics, well I lucked out and picked up the T100D for a steal, but it's definitely a project--I've already had it refretted and set up, but I'm ready to replace the 45 year old tuners 'cause the guitar simply will not stay in tune and the intonation up and down the neck is...erratic. However, it sure has some mojo and I love it to death! I'll keep investing and she'll be super fine someday.

Nice looking family portrait, and not a bad looking 'man cave' either, if that is indeed a glimpse of your 'cave.'
A man must have his cave! :wink:
Take care,
