Back in the late 70s when I started learning to play the lead role
Bluegrass and fiddle tunes on acoustic guitar, bluegrass, each
Player, which I knew nothing other than a dreadnought. The
Dreadnought guitar is a style in 1916, in collaboration
between the manufacturer of the guitar, CF Martin and Co. Oliver
Ditson Co., a retailer.

The body of the Dreadnought was larger and
deeper than most guitars. The name wasForged the great British
Battleship HMS Dreadnought. Dreadnoughts were known for their
Bass response and projection. They have a larger volume than the product

Of course, the rest of the industry followed, and today, Dreadnought
is one of the mostPopular styles of acoustic guitar on the market
and is used by many manufacturers. So, as I said, between
bluegrass guitar (and the so-called Bluegrass Guitar
Player), I knew everybody was a Dreadnought. Or, if not a
Dreadnought, was one of the big flashy Gibson J-220, which simply

too much work for me. There are about 10 years ago, I played a few small
Body guitars and I was surprisedin its projection and clarity

Balance between the notes high and bass notes. I decided to
Skip: I sold my J-45 and bought a Gibson-made
Depression Kalamazoo KG-11 (much smaller) than Dreadnought. I
have carried out many repairs to make the guitar playable, was
but ended with a lot of change left over from my J-45
Sale. Finally, I sold theKalamazoo (I went into the acquisition and
to sell on eBay), and bought a blank Carson J. Robison (also
Gibson – even then), which is identical to the Kalamazoo KG-11,
only difference is the name on the headstock. I would buy

I discovered the guitar, smaller is better suited and

Your licks ring out with a much wider range of dynamics. I also
prefer a shorter scale, more precisely 24.75 Gibson "as a yardstick
