Hi all again

I bought a McIlroy A35c a while ago, but won't take delivery til January. Fabulous! cant wait to try fingerstyle and trad music on it! Bit worried now though as at the moment I play a Taylor 614 out, and its great for the kind of music we do: Bowie, Dylan, even Nirvana (all hard strumming songs). What I am worried about though is, will the A35c be as good at the hard strumming as it will be with the fingerstyle!?

Tanx!

Wouldn't worry.
I've a Lowden f10c, cedar top, recommended for flat pickers, so probably not unlike the McIlroy.
Sounds great no mater what I play on it.

McIlroy are noted for their diversity. You can fingerpick, flatpick and strum and all will sound fantastic. I'm currently unloading gear so I can get an A25. Your so lucky you got in early and before the price rise. I'll have to wait until next summer for mine
