Taylor 210e Acoustic Guitar

I'm not a fan of cutaway acoustic guitars specifically because of the the attenuated volume of such models.  This Taylor 210e plays as good as it looks.  When I found it used at Guitar Center, I could not believe that is was a used guitar -- everything looks and feels new, specially the fretboard.  About the only thing that was non-standard is the Gator case that came with it, which incidentally is a perfect fit to the guitar.

The beautiful spruce top and the simplest of bindings make this guitar a little more elegant in design without the excess of fancy that don't really add to the sonic quality of the instrument.  Plugged in, this 210e is very bright and balanced with feedback at a minimum.  Just about every song I play sounds better on the 210e's fast neck; plugged in or unplugged, it'll do the job for a very long time.
