Two suggestions— both used by the master Chet Atkins.

1.) The Gretsch Chet Atkins model Country Gentlemen. A real one is quite expensive, but there are great replicas and more modern made Gretsch ones. Chet with Jerry Reed: all fingerstyle btw,

2.) Alternatively for a powerful acoustic finger style guitar— a resophonic instrument (regular nut height “dobro” ).

Here’s Chet and Leo Kottke back many years, playing Sleep Walking:

The model resophonic is a Del Vecchio (hard to find, from the 60’s). Can find newer Beard models that sound great. Contact pickup with EQ.
