Wade,
I'm still looking for the guitar that won't reflect my skill level! But, try as I might, I've not found a guitar that will disguise my many limitations as a guitarist.
A case in point? My 1929 Nick Lucas:
I love the Nick Lucas design. As others have observed, the added depth augments the low end, but the design maintains most of the clarity and attack of the L-00 style instrument. Where I might differ from others is that I think that the difference between the deeper body Nick and the shallower L is relatively subtle.
I, too, have played all of configurations, including the smaller Robert Johnson styled version of the late 1920s and the various combinations of back and side wood and neck/body join. My favorite is the design of mine: mahogany, large body, 12-fretter.
OK, back to my life-long quest to find a guitar that will conceal my many playing mistakes!
