Thread Name: Best guitars for fingerstyle?
Subject: RE: Best guitars for fingerstyle?
I have read most of the posts about people's preferences as far as guitars for fingerstyle, and I'm certainly not a master guitar player, but I have a Rogue RA100D acoustic, and for the most part, I like the sound of it. I like the heavy bass of the dreadnaught, but I do wish that the mids and highs were a bit clearer. The only real probably I have with it is that it's really not that comfortable. I don't like the thickness of the neck, and I wish that the body were a little thinner.

I'm really, like the originator of this post...wondering about what would be a good guitar to buy to replace my Rogue...but I only want to spend 300-maybe 600 dollars at the most. I have been considering an Alvarez Folk body of the Fusion series which I played at the local music store and liked a lot, but I'm wondering if I should look around more and see what's available...unfortunately our music store sucks, and I live in a small town, so playing a lot of different guitars to test the sound isn't an option for me.
