Though I have several I could contribute I'll keep it to one. This is my 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio. It was my first good guitar. It started out life with black paint and gold hardware. After ten years of play the paint was not holding up well so I stripped it off and finished it with several coats of tung oil which I buffed in with ultra fine steel wool.

really nice to play though, it just has something that the bulky-as regular les pauls dont.

My Natural Beauties would be most of my acoustics...sorry for eating bandwith, but some backsides are worth the look.
First, my well-worn partner since new, a '70 Guild D40NT:
The first issue of the Takamine Santa Fe Series, a '93 ESF-93...verified with Tak that its s/n makes it the 35th made of the limited run of 1,100. MIJ, solid cedar top, solid lacewood (silky oak) back/sides, turquoise eagle flying across the fretboard:
Another MIJ Tak Santa Fe, an '02 EAC38C...solid spruce top, solid rosewood b/s, natural maple body bindings, dyed turquoise for the back seam, and more Japanese inlay artistry:
My '04 Washburn NV100C is a semi-solid mahogany bodied, spruce-topped nylon string a/e:
...and finally, this little Oscar Schmidt reissue of a 1920's Washburn uke, an '08 OU-250BELL, is of solid Trembesi...some say the next koa, as that wood grows scarce:
But the absolutely most gorgeous sounding and looking acoustic (a/e) I ever owned was a Tacoma JK28C, a koa-bodied jumbo that Rocket acquired from me last year...via this thread:

My el-cheapo Dean Vendetta. Surprisingly, it plays pretty well and the pickups aren't half bad either. I have a little trouble switching to it because of the scale length after playing my LP.
This one is getting a make-over in a month or so. New paint and hardware with maybe a pickup swap.
Heres my GS again for those who havent seen it. Simple but effective.

Is it an optical illusion due to light reflection or is that wrap-around bridge not compensated at all?
If so, is there no method to adjust for intonation?
This is my only nat. guitar. (I am the one on the right with the hair sticking out the back of my hat. It was a Christmas performance I showed up to after skiing and just threw a hat on.) Pretty basic, but it was my first. That is my first guitar instructor there too with his D-35 that he plays beautifully with his thumb pick and fingers. I don't take lessons from him now, but we still play together some and are friends.

At the moment, the only natural beauty in the quiver:
IMHO, mahogany is not the prettiest of all woods for a natural finish guitar. Not as pretty as, say, flame maple or the like. Still, not an ugly guitar, I suppose.
