57' V is nothing compared to 58' Flametop Les Paul. And that Ric is sweet.

I have a squier strat, a nice yamaha acoustic, and some middle of the line piano. (Piano, not keyboard)

The Flying-V is by far the most annoying guitar to play sitting down, ever.
I've never really been a fan of Rickenbauker guitars, but that's just a personal preference on asthetics...it has nothing to do with the quality of the instrument.

Right now I'd have to say that Stonebridge is my favorite guitar

. ALL OF EM!!!!! I have a D40-CM

(Dreadnaught body, Cedar/Mahogany) Archback acoustic, and this guitar rings out to next week I tell ya. There is no back bracing which makes for a really cool Chorus-ish effect when the sound reverberates in the body. SOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD!!!!! But clean though, super crisp. Best bang for your buck for sure.
I also have a Yamaha AEX-540 Hollow Body. That guitar has gotten me chrew some times man. Rough ones to great ones.
The other instruments I's gots be a mouth harp(harmonica) and a Balalaika, which is a triangle-shapped 3 string mini Russian guitar

.

My roomate has a Timple, which is a 5 string Ukelele from the Canary Islands and this thing is louder than most guitars

.
Here is me playing it.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=T1Z9UQRg9Rs .
I'm tanked as crap in that video

, don't forget that, k? ('cause I think the song is over half way through, but that's Jason's fault. I think my recovery is aight

)

I agree with the V sentiment.

My favorite acoustic is my dad's '68 Martin 0018. It's small, but I'm not a very big guy and it has better action than most electrics.

It's not meant to be played sitting down....

Most radical body shapes are meant to be played standing up.... Explorers, Flying Vs, Razorback Vs

Oh for sure. If I had long flowing blond locks and a pair of sequence spandex I would rock all of those guitars. Or if I was in Coal Chamber I could use that funky acrylic guitar, the green one

If I was a bigger dude with long black hair or a beard and no hair I would join a death metal band and play a BC Rich. Any of 'em would do fine.

But I'm a little dude that plays acoustic fingerstyle mostly

.
Like that '68 Martin sounds like a gorgeous instrument to me

I feel you bro. Most of the electric stuff I play is Blues, Jazz, or classical with ultra-high gain. Other than that I play acoustic.
