Garland,

In theory this is all you need.
But its as ugly as hell, lacking craftsmanship, and sounds boxy.
Wold I buy one , no.
Wold I have one if it was a free gift, no thank you.

Garland ,

It's the OM or 000 size for me, more comfortable to play, don't play Bluegrass style or Flatt Picking..
Volume is ample for my audience, only myself. .
Haven't had a Dreadnought size guitar for years, and never missed it.

Derick, I still have my epihphone pro dove and yamaha f335- I rarely play the dove, but, day before yesterday I did play the yamaha- it was a bit uncomfortable because of its size, but the string spacing is very comfortable and I do enjoy the sound on a song I wrote recently that I'm still tryin to get what I want -

Playin at playin guitar-

Garland,

Over the years I've had many Dreadnought guitars, there is nothing wrong with them, in fact they are fantastic guitars, but for my style of playing, and where I play guitar, and for the audience I play to, and the comfort factor, it's the OM or 000 size guitar is for me.
Would I like a top of the range Martin, Taylor or Gibson size Dreadnought guitar, the answer is yes, would I buy one, the answer is no.
