Lots of talk about strings and tone wood and nuts, pins, and saddles...but perhaps I missed it...has anyone mentioned their guitars pick sweet spot? On my D 50 it’s about 1/2” in from the neck over the sound hole...
Actually it depends on the tone you're looking for.
Closest to center of
fretted string length yields woodiest tone, thus the preference for over-the-soundhole-closer-to-the-fretboard if playing "cowboy" chords.
And generically, the closer to the bridge, the "brighter" and more trebly as Dreadnut says.
So, like Quantum Strummer, I'll move it around even during the same song to either maintain a tone or else introduce some "contrast".
That's another thing that's a whole lot easier to do without breaking stride, when playing in classical position.
But my absolute favorite spot is actually fingerpicking ("bareback")
right on the fretboard extension, halfway between the neckheel and the soundhole.
On all of my guitars that's the "WOOD" spot.
