Favorite Acoustic Guitar

So this is basically a cross between some form of Martin and a Gibson Hummingbird. It was a cheap guitar in the 70s, now almost impossible to find. Made in the Matsumoku factory in Japan, it has a lovely three piece back with purfling strips separating the mahogany from the maple strip down the center. Basically, it looks every bit as good as it sounds. The double pick guard is reminiscent of a Gibson Hummingbird, and adds a touch of class to what was, in the 70s, a bargain guitar.

I've been tracking this one down for 15+ years, my wife got it for me for our wedding anniversary this year. It is now my main acoustic guitar. For a ~50 year old instrument, it is in near perfect shape. It plays like a dream. Best tuning for it is DADGAD, it takes open tuning really well.

And for the record, there are no stock pics of that guitar I could find. That's my actual guitar in the picture. Ain't it just a beautiful piece of kit? :D Well, one of the two I own, anyway!
