I know this subject is a well-hashed, but I'm hoping my questions about size are new. Some day I'll buy a folk guitar again. Mine broke years ago and I've been playing a classical. I accompany myself and others singing mostly folk songs. I pick with bare fingers, more or less Travis style I suppose. I sometimes use a simple lick involving a downstroke with nails. I also love to use strummed chords to accompany simple, slow melodies. Sounds great. What sort of guitar should I be thinking about, good for all of the above? The guitar I've played that I thought I liked best was a Rosewood/Engleman Goodall Standard. I recently emailed James Goodall asking for advice. He recommended a slightly less than standard sized model for finger-picking clarity and treble clarity. Does body size have a significant effect on tone balance and clarity, as it seems J G implied? Specifically, in a larger-bodied guitar (full size or Jumbo), do the bass and midtones tend to drown out the treble more than in a smaller bodied one, and by the same token, less overall clarity? Are larger bodies more suited to flat-picking than finger picking? But do I need a larger body for more volume since I don't use picks? Andrew
