I think its worth checking out this stream of wolfgang muthspiel - gig:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/jazzon3/pip/v8iv5

You need to forward it for about 30 - 40 minutes, when muthspiel picks up 
his
acoustic for the first time: here he works with some loops.
As far as I know, he is using framework - guitars:

canīt afford them. I use a Alhambra 5P Cutaway. Great Sound with
fishman preamp: mic/piezo (+ the great roland ac 60).
