Hi Cruz610...
My take on fingerstyle is highly colored from owning a great Olson Dreadnaught Rosewood/Cedar guitar for the past 13 years. It is the best fingerstyle guitar I've played.
I also own a great Bashkin OM - fanned fret Myrtlewood/Italian Spruce a little over a year old which is catching up quickly to the Olson. Actually, it serves me best because of the fanned fret with low pitched open tunings.
I think a great fingerstyle guitar must:
1 - Have low action
2 - Be highly resonant
3 - Sustain forever
4 - Give good feedback to the player
5 - Have great balance tonally
This is not dependent on size or wood makeup.
