I find that CA guitars, including the new ones (that I have played at Elderly, including the X) are very warm and "woody" sounding, but the trebles are a bit overwhelmed by the basses therefore I do not personally think that they are 100 % ideal for fingerpicking, Travis picking, blues fingerstyle.
My Rainsong Jumbo is everything but unidimensional. It is a powerful guitar but it can also be sweet and delicate when fingerpicked.
The sound is very clear and modern. I am not sure, though, that a Rainsong or an Emerald would be the right guitars for you if you are looking for a composite guitar that replicates the "woody" sound of a Martin.
CA should probably be a better match.
