Talk about somebody sounding like they’re playing several guitars. listen to this guy.. Charlie Hunter.
He plays the baseline as well as the rhythm and lead along with the other stuff he’s playing on the same guitar

Charlie Hunter and Carter Mcclain.
Carter McClain’s one hell of a drummer too

Michael Hedges "Watching My Life Go By" Promo copy, all analog recording and mixing, excellent SQ. Outstanding, eclectic acoustic guitar style. He can make a guitar sound like 3 instruments, at the same time. How sad, he died in a solo car crash in 1997. Rain soaked road and skidded off, down a cliff. I guess his album title says a lot.

Joel, a long time ago in the 1970’s I used to really be into Windham Hill artists including Hedges, Ackerman, De Grassi, et. al. There were also some other similar players I was digging on different labels: Scott Cosu (sp?) and Eric Tingstadt (sp?) come to mind. I think I had my own “post rock” mindset going on at the time. Anyway, later I got more into what are probably a generation of guitar players in a similar tradition (who were likely influenced by those early windham hill dudes but took guitar playing to new un-dreamt of places), Billy McLaughlin (try “The Archery of Guitar”), Don Ross (try “Three Hands” or anything really), Andy McKee, Antoine Dufour (protege of Ross), et. al. Do you know them?

James,
No, I don't know of those artists/musicians.  Admittedly, I am a bit slow getting acquainted with new material.  I have been exposed to some new ones via this very good thread, which I am grateful for.  I will look into those cited above.  High quality SQ makes the music that much better.  If Windham Hill is consistent with SQ on their other records too, then I need to get more of them.  And these recommended artists/musicians sound like very good options to explore.
Thank you for that.
