What are playing most these day? Any particular reason why?

My favorite right now is my little LX1 "Little Martin".  I've had this guitar for a couple of years and never really cared for it's tone.  Not, that is, until it was suggested I try a set of D'Addario Silk and Steel  light gauge .011-.047 strings.  All of the sudden I'm hearing these rivers of sweet tone coming out of the instrument.  It's currently my go-to guitar. 

Here it is to the left of a standard sized Martin dreadnought:

    Nice, Brian. 

    I've been playing electric six string lately. My modified Fender Blacktop Strat gets most of my attention. (On the left).

    My 1987 Martin D-18 limited edition (7 of 15) quilted mahogany baby is my favorite, but it's too nerve-racking to play it around the kids.

    I just picked up a beater Fender F-200 that sounds a lot better than I thought it would (perhaps thanks to a local luthier), and the kids and I can go to town on that thing.

    Wise choice, Dan!
