The overall tone in combo with the ziricote is somewhat complex in the overtones. And it has an amazing amount of low end for a shallow small concert bodied guitar . It presents a very different sound from my Taylor 810 ce.
Also I go against the norm somewhat as it is billed as an excellent finger style instrument and no doubt it is, but I play flat pic and IMO it is superb for that as well.
Yeah -- I could never understand how a guitar would be designated as a fingerstyle instrument. If you play all over the neck, you need that balance and responsiveness in every position. I play some basic pattern picking stuff fingerstyle, but most of the time am chunking off swing chord lines or soloing, and evenness of tone and warmth and presence are all good.
