Well a McIlroy would certainly fit right in with the bliss you currently enjoy.

Mine is an A25c. I play with my fingers and a Kelly speed pick. I do a lot of Bert Jansch-style playing and mainly use DADGAD. I auditioned it in the shop alongside A McIlroy A30, a Martin 00028EC,a Collings (very nice) and one or two others. It is hard to state how much better the A25c was than the others. It was louder, had much the best tonal range, an excellent action and playability.

I have several Martins, a couple of Avalons and a Lowden, but the guitar I choose to gig with is the McIlroy. Get one if you can - they are stunning value!
