Fingerstyle Guitar is the method by which the music is played and not the instrument itself. Fingerstyle is just that, a method of playing music with the fingers. It is a style of playing the guitar.

The sound of several instruments at once can be made by a talented fingerpicker. You can play fingerstyle on any guitar but some are more preferable to to the design specifications.

In the case of tonewood this means that we don’t use up future generation’s wood to satisfy this generation’s guitars.
Red Birch, the first of three sustainable tonewoods used in this OMC is only occasionally seen in the guitar stores yet has been used by luthiers for years.
