Topic: TYPICAL FINGER PICKING GUITARS

Are there guitars who are more specific for the "art" of fingerpicking.
I read an article where people claimed that SANTA CRUZ guitar are real finger picking guitars, and less used to strum songs.

SO THE QUESTION IS: ARE THERE GUITAR BRANDS GIVING BETTER RESULTS FOR FINGER PICKING?
I compare 2 expensive brands.
a MARTIN D-45V versus a SANTA-CRUZ model like the "FIREFLY"?

I saw a video on YOUTUBE after searching SANTA CRUZ guitars, the TONE SOUND in finger picking style were so beautiful.
Is the difference more clear using a dreadnought versus an orchestra model.
Let's take a MARTIN OO28 versus a MARTIN D-28?

Re: TYPICAL FINGER PICKING GUITARS

I finger pick mostly.  Also, I'm a bass player, so I like a deep, well-formed bass in my guitar.  For that, I have found that the Blue Ridge guitars are optimal.  I like many other brands too, and don't know whether I'll ever be able to afford a Blue Ridge guitar but they sound so nice fingerpicking that if you are serious about buying a fingerpicking guitar I highly recommend you give them a try.
