chet atkins, mark knopfler, jeff beck EDIT: sorry i misread that as finger style guitarists and not guitars!
it really depends what he's asking. you want good reputed manufacturers for what? solid body electric hollow body electric lap steel acoustic nylon classical (acoustic) or spanish guitars?
nylon classicals and spanish guitars are good finger style guitars so are flamenco's but they are a bit girly ...
hehehe I mean i like the flemenco based spanish gypsy kinda music...u know with all the foot tappings and clappings.... amazing....
