Just curious how many of ya'll play fingerpicking tunes on their arch tops...and what kinds you have?

Hi Blue,
I have a 1927 Gibson L-5 on which I fingerpick and play bottleneck:

Listen to 'Nokie's Blue Bottle' for an open D fingerstyle bottleneck track, or listen to 'Dust Mop' for straight open E country blues (open D, capo 2)
