I have found that picks can make a difference regarding how an acoustic guitar sounds.  I lay out a lot of picks and go through them as I play my Martin and Breedlove guitars.  I always go back to this one.  I use the nano coated Elixir strings and thes picks help bring the highs and mids out with the coated strings.  They are good picks.  .73mm is a key element too.  Not too heavy, not too light--just right.
