The guitar I had for the longest (25 years) was an Alvarez "Festival" model 5029. Then I sold it when I bought my Larrivée LV-19 Special Vine Edition that I kept for several years before selling it to a friend when I bought a custom Martin OM-18. Now, I have, besides the Martin, and a Taylor NS-62ce, two guitars made by Tsuneyuki Yamamoto, a MS-12 that I bought used at Eric Schoenberg's shop in Tiburon, in 2015, and a bit more than a year later I bought a Talas VS-12, brand new from Tony, directly.
I can't justify the really high end (Wingert, Ryan, Somogyi, Hatcher, etc.) guitars, but I am at a very happy place with the guitars I that I do have.
You?

I do not, but I live right up the highway from Jeff Bamberg's shop, Rocky Mountain Guitars. I wander in there once in a while, and am always amazed at his guitars.
Maybe someday....

I had a ukulele made for me by Kevin Crossett of Kepasa Ukulele. It’s a great instrument.

I have a Petr Matousek built classical guitar. I lived in Prague for a year teaching ESL at the age of 20 in 2004-5, was changing my major to music and needed a suitable instrument to use for my music studies at university. I commissioned the guitar after moving over there and paid for it with money I made waiting tables the year before. Awesome instrument and def a great souvenir from time abroad. Should play it more but the steel strings and electrics take up more playing time these days.
