My main guitar is a New Era Roy Book Binder signature model built by Tony Klassen. That's the one I play everyday now and it just keeps getting better. I also have a deep bodied 2001 Tacoma PM15 that I use for occasional solo/duo gigs.

Currently, an "Emperador" (Matsumoku) Jumbo 12 string, Gretsch Roots Collection 00, and a little old Regal standard size from the ~30s, all birch.
Here is my acoustic wall.
I am a (frugal) guitar freak as well as a blues fan! I don't have an all-time fave - I go mad on one guitar for a few weeks - then it goes back on the wall and another takes over! I also have an Aria ASA-18 in my bedroom. Annette Two are Lin Hong versions of Recording King models but I have fun faked one as a Stella and the other as a Kalamazoo.
Typical of me to fake up a cheap guitar as a cheap guitar. I like my Jim Dandy.
Added a tailpiece cos I had one spare for purely aesthetic reasons. I've seen a few posts about sides splitting. Annette I hear good stories about that 189 dollar Gretsch Jim Dandy, is it true? I really like the Recording King Justin Townes Earle model but I've got too many already! These are my (frugal) archtops.
Some play good acoustically some really need amplifying! Annette I like my Jim Dandy. How would you rate the Jim Dandy against a high end Martin or Gibson? Dont know - never owned a high end guitar!
Nearest I got to a Gibson was a Kalamazoo KG14. Most expensive guitar I've ever had was a Beltona Tricone. Well, hope you sold it for a good price like this one (if it was ever sold),
Beltona Tricone Resonator https://reverb.com/item/15824091-beltona-tricone-resonator-1994-brass-nickel Lots of comments on the Gretsch Jim Dandy like "it sounds just like the old blues records" Gretsch Jim Dandy I think I paid £1900 for it from a shop.
I sold for a few 100 quid less after about 5 years. This was in the days before China - my Johnson Tricone was £230. Annette
