Here's my take.
A new guitar here. My first recording with it: Ibanez Classical w/cutaway. This is all with a pick, cuz while I like fingerpicking, I don't grow out my nails so not as much tone.

Edit: Oh yeah...the new guitar isn't the "secret" weapon though. It was a capo, in case it's not obvious. I'm surprised nobody went the other way and tuned down to it. Or has someone? I haven't listened to every take yet.
