I'm interested in hearing your favorite tonewood and string combos for finger style playing, and what about that particular combo do you like?
This question has come about for me because I've noticed that, for some songs that I play finger style, I don't necessarily want the all the sustain that my ukulele gives me. I have a cedar top with mahogany sides/back and it's strung with Worth Browns. But I do love the volume and the tone it gives. I realize that I can work on my technique to dampen the sustain, but maybe I "need" to buy another uke in the meantime.
Anyways, I'm just curious to hear what type of sound you value with finger picking, and what tonewood/strings gives you that.
Thanks!
