Dreadnoughts are for sissies !

Playing it was an interesting experience, but it's not exactly a great sounding guitar. What could be more natural than a steel string guitar with steel pipe bracing? Cool, yes, but I doubt Stevie will be getting one for Mighty Fine Guitars.

I remember George Gruhn writing a column on the original years ago. He wrote that it sounded somewhat like a harpsichord! Scott Chinery owned the original. It's odd to me that many people equate a larger body with bigger bass; there IS a point of diminishing returns, as any given set of strings, tuned to any particular pitch, can only exert their maximum tension on the guitar's top, and no more.
