I like classical guitar over electric guitar,becuase it sounds nicer to me. What about you?

Ah, guitars, the love of my life. Steel string acoustic sounds best for me, as long as it's played right. Sometimes if it's in the hands of a bad guitarist it can be terrible. For looks, the best guitar for me would be a vintage white Telecaster (as seen on the back of Terri Clark's 'How I feel' album), or an emerald telecaster with white scratchplate (as seen on the front of 'The Best Of The Corrs').

Electric guitars for me [img]smile.gif[/img] Sound so cool

12-string classical. Leo Kottke is a god on that instrument, when he plays one it sounds like he is playing a duet.

Right now I have a Yamaha 3/4 body steel string acoustic and a Martin steel string acoustic. I started out playing classical acoustic and never have liked playing electric that much. My favorite guitar was an Ovation Anniversary model that I was forced to sell years ago. It paid for a semester of graduate school. The sacrifices you have to make for learning can be big.

Electric. Acoustic can have a lovely sopund, but put an electric guitar in the hands of Petrucci, Steve Vai and other masters, and I'll have that any day.

I love the sound of a Steel

but an electric is cool as well

I have to go with classical if for no other reason than the years I have spent learning how to play.

I myself like a mix of the two, sometimes within the same song can sound amazing and be a great way to show emotions.

The best looking guitar I have ever seen would have to be the PRS Dragon, I really think that guitar is amazing.

Acoustic guitars are better IMHO. It can create more subtle nuances/tones depending on how the strings are picked and the type of plectrum used. I guess there's only so much you can do with a whammy bar.
