I play several different styles of music and have preferred guitars for each. For bluegrass & Irish rhythm work I use a Martin D-28. For fingerstyle and swing, a Santa Cruz OM-PW. If I'm not sure what I'll be playing or don't feel like taking multiple guitars somewhere, I usually go with my Gibson J-45 as a compromise guitar. It fingerpicks better than the D-28, but has more volume than the OM-PW. I have several other guitars, but they mainly stay in the living room.
