This is confusing to me as I've read here several times that adi is less responsive for finger style but has a lot of head room for a flat picker. (Someone posted a "top responsiveness" chart one time also)
I have also read is that cedar is the way to go for finger style. I play finger style on mostly sitka tops with one cedar top Seagull, which may not count.
(Maybe the player's right hand attack actually overrides all of this.)
I'd love to get a cedar/rosewood or walnut or hog G22 (or 23)-C. Great looking and sounding guitars.
