Yep, that was where I started out with this thread.
It has been fascinating to read all the responses, some of the historical perspectives, and folks feelings on the matter.
I wonder if "pattern pickers" who sing and the more melodic fingerstyle players fall roughly in to two camps who view the flat top acoustic guitar from fundamentally different perspectives and are likely to make very different choices about their instrument selection?
