000-18s are the most comfortable to play with their small body and short scale yet still maintain a fantastic balanced sound. But I love the powerful cutting sound of the D-18s the best. Although, sometimes there are a few moments when I yearn for the deep 3D base of a rosewood dread. So then basically, you need at least three!
Of the new ones, I'm floored by how good the Golden Era guitars are. The 000-18GE and d-18GE are just superb sounding/playing guitars. Don't even pick up a D-18 authentic if you can't afford one.
Oh yeah... can't forget the LXM. After my tele, it is my most played guitar.
Interesting... I have not picked up an EC that I liked, and I have picked up quite a few. On paper it seemed like such a great guitar. I just think I've had to come to the realization that the combo of rosewood with shortscale and small body don't go together well. Maybe if I actually tried an actual 1939 000-42 I would feel differently. It basically made me realize that I guess I just favor the hogs...
