Default Change acoustic from fingerstyle to flatpicker?

So I have a dreadnought, but when the Silver Creeks were sellin on MF like hotcakes 5 years ago, I jumped on the bandwagon and got the T-160 OOO. The action is high and fingerstyle didn't work out for me so it has sat in my closet.

The question is, can I make it more apt to my strumming/flatpicking/bar chord playing style by getting it set up to lower the action and saddle and nut ajdusted ? Or are OOO strictly for fingerpicking? I prefer the OOO size to dreadnought.

Thanks!

There are absolutely no rules about body size and what you play on it. 000's aren't for finger style - they're for guitar playing. Any style.

It sounds like your guitar would benefit from a setup either way for its high action - and FYI, finger style players often like even lower action than flat pickers. So setting it up for lower action won't specifically help for flat picking - it will just generally make the guitar more playable if it's too high right now.
