You will probably get quite a wide variety of answers for a question like that ![:)]( "Smile")
I don't play that many Yamaha acoustics these days. I prefer other brands for various reasons. But sticking with the Yamaha theme I would probably lean towards the AC3R. It has bee out for many years but I still like the combo of solid Sitka Spruce top with solid Rosewood back and sides.
The AC3R has a certain brightness without being too harsh and a good dynamic range. You can play with a very light touch and not lose anything. I am not a believer in the back and sides adding much to the overall tone of a guitar but I would say that in this particular case it probably adds some complex overtones into the mix.
And then I just like the look and feel of the guitar. I had one when they first came out. My brother-in-law has it now and he would never part with it.
