I wouldn't go as far as to say strictly but my McAlister has a very rounded and warm sound when fingerpicked that is great for accompaniment. I wouldn't want to make a hog/rose comparison. I like the sound a lot. The first time I played the guitar, not knowing what it was made of, I liked it a lot and wanted to buy it.
