Yep, a CF guitar would definitely be the ticket.

I recently picked up my first CF guitar (a Composite Acoustics OX RAW ELE), and I was immediately impressed by the tone, especially the volume, balance, and the note articulation (especially way up the neck).

I'd say my CA OX has a tone of its own, but that tone is wonderful. Also, the affect of different strings and picks on this guitar is substantially more profound than it is with my traditional, wood guitars.

FYI, the body size of the CA OX is almost exactly the same as a Martin 14-fret 000.
