Being an inveterate snob and a chip on both shoulders (made of solid woods), I covered my bases with Martin.

The 000 (they're zeroes, not the letter Os) 28 is sublime for finger picking - that said I can vouch for Backwoodsman's OM, it sounds lovely.

The D-28 is great for both finger picking AND plectrum (pick) playing.

The D12-28 fulfills my need to make NOISE, but is particularly nice when played gently using the flatpick (a soft one).

Must admit the EC didn't appeal as the extra expense is not justified for one such as I.

But, who gives a damn, it's horses for courses and whatever floats your boat (I love metaphors) is good enough. If you're paying the bills, you can have what you like/can afford.

Never forget, whatever you've got . . . enjoy it.
