Yeah, that's another one on my bucket list...
Probably the F312.
My idea of a dream guitar was pretty straightforward. I listened to a ton of solo acoustic players while researching different types of wood. Anyway after listening to lots of songs I started to separate the ones I like but not for the song itself but the tone of the guitar.
I’d research info about the guitars or speak directly with the player to talk about the guitars build .
And so it went . Once I had gathered enough info I found two guys that had really great tone . Then there it was a combination of a sort between the two then went for it . I have my dream guitar and I’m totally satisfied. I supplied the top and my luthier did the rest .
Um ... one guy I can’t remember met him on AGF he had a custom build African black wood B&S with lucky strike red wood top so same woods as my guitar . I’d have to dig to find out his name again .who were the two artists whose tone you really liked?
Well, since my '84 D64 was the only acoustic I played for 30+ years, I guess it was my dream guitar. Until shoulder issues caused me to sell it (to LTGer wileypickett). So now my '11 F-30RCE is my dream guitar, it's the only acoustic I'm playing. It's easy to fulfill your dreams if you don't ask for too much.

Ha - That’s right about the time I bought a Gibson Heritage in Eugene, I kid you not! Still have some old Polaroid pics of it around here somewhere, and it was a very nice guitar. But to answer the question as of today, my new best friend is a 2012 Gibson J-185 (next to my second best friend, a 2015 Gibson J-50):In 1975 I played a Gibson Heritage Deluxe in a shop in Eugene. Can't remember the price but it was perfect! Walked out and never saw it again. The stuff dreams are made of.
I found mine. 1949 J-50.
Correct, Woody. Same exact guitar as the J-45, only the J-50 is natural vs. sunburst.wow, a 1949 Neal. These are basically J45s right but with a non burst top?
