I've been thinking about buying an acoustic guitar, and need some advice. I haven't had a flat-top acoustic for 20 years, and mostly play electric (stratocaster). I also have an old Gibson L-48, which looks cool but intonates horribly. Since I got back to guitar a few years ago, I've mainly left picks aside and use my fingers to pluck the strings--trying to emulate Mark Knopfler to some extent. I don't use finger picks and don't employ any finger-picking technique, just thumb the strings and plink with my middle finger.
Anyway, I love the look of a Guild jumbo, but would a smaller guitar be better suited to finger picking?
