Subject: RE: Best guitars for fingerstyle?
CarlZen,

The dreadnaught style of guitar like Martin's D-28 was designed for "punch" and tends to be bass heavy, though there is some variance from guitar to guitar even within models and years.

You might look for something smaller in size, even among the Martin's.

If you want punch, balance and playability and if you have a couple 1,000 bucks, the 810 by Taylor is a wonderful guitar. I have loved everyone I have played, but I ain't got the bread for one of them. They are distinctly different from your 410.
