In normal terms, I would say my 1965 Airline, because it feels like owning a bit of history to me (it’s my only vintage). It might be a bit cliche because of The White Stripes, but Jack White was the first guitar player that really influenced me and gave me the bug, so it means something special to me even if it’s a popular/celebritized model.
(Sorry I can’t figure out why Lemmy is rotating it, it’s not rotated on my phone)
My other favorite is the one that I built this year, which I’d been wanting to do for ages and will continue doing as a hobby and maybe eventual retirement activity. It has a ton of mistakes but feels special knowing how it all went together.
My favorite subreddit was r/Luthier, I just started up an equivalent community here, although given current user base I’m guessing all discussion will happen here on guitars until we’re able to support more niche users like that.
I have to cheat and say I have two favorites!
