The string spacing is HUGE (the V neck is also HUGE - both in width & depth). It has a unique body shape - smaller than a dread or jumbo, but still fairly large. It also has a cedar top with a solid rosewood body. It's an ideal guitar for anyone that uses fingerpicks. |

+1. I'd be happy with any of those, and I have a couple of GAs.

Many guitars do both well.

If you're a 100% dedicated fingerstyle guitarist the answer is no.
If you're a 100% dedicated strumming guitarist the answer is no. If you play a variety of styles the answer is yes.

Some people are very heavy hitters when it comes to strumming. Those players typically do not want scalloped bracing or a flexible, responsive top, like I do.
I do use a flat pick at times, but I am mostly a finger picker. I find that I need a fairly responsive top on a guitar before I am comfortable playing a guitar. So I very definitely want a responsive top and typically scalloped bracing. I have never liked the responsiveness of a straight-braced D-18 or D-28. I need scalloped bracing or less flexible bracing like that on a D-35. When I use a flat pick, I use it fairly lightly and so the responsive types of guitars that I own work well with that. But if someone wants to do aggressive flat picking, the kind of guitars I choose are not going to work well. They are too soft, too flexible. So for me, no. Any guitar isn't going to work for both strumming and finger picking. I choose first, a guitar with the responsiveness to work well for finger picking. And then I adjust how I use a flat pick to fit this kind of guitar design. - Glenn

Is your wife reading this? If so, then for sure you need a different guitar for each style
