Hi Because I fingerpick and fingerpick hard I use MAhagany back guitars to socke up some of the extra energy.. I use a 018 martin alot and also when traveling a new LOO gibson that I love.. For some blues work I use a Deoian National and also a great old Kallamazoo the size of a o martin but the shape of a drednaught with a huge sound hole.. It is incredable for slide work.. Also I sometimes use a Kay Profeetional arch top for a smoother sound.. All the best, Guy
