Hi All, Although I primarily a tenor banjo player, I learn a lot from reading the posts on ths forum. I have a question about which acoustic body style that...
Hi Mike, My only concern with a dreadnought would be size. Dreads are quite large. A Om or OOO would be smaller and may fit your wife better (although I don't ...

Hi Mike, I have a definite view on this after recently purchasing a 000. I now have a "brother & sister" set of guitars - both same maker, same woods same trim...
Mike, I'd fully endorse what Lance and Mike have said. A Dread can be a bit of a handfull for those of a slighter build and there's no reason to look at it as...
Hello Mike - I bought a dreadnaught when I first started back playing and played it until I built my own guitar. It turned out to be an "OM" sized guitar. I ...
Ten years ago when I started building guitars the only orders I ever got was a dreadnaught. Now it makes up about 1/3 of the orders. Now it's all pretty...
I noticed that at least one member here builds guitars. I would love to do that myself. I realize that it would take years before you succeeded in building a ...
THANK YOU Andy, Michael, Lance, Trevor & Vince!!! I'm very appreciative for all your responses. I do think we'll take a better look at a 000. And yes, I was...
A OOO has the added advantage of a shorter scale length (24.9 inches as opposed to 25.4 inches) which reduces the tension of the strings making the guitar...
Ed is correct about the shorter scale having less tension, but the style sometimes will not designate it, so check the specs on the guitar. I've built dreads,...
Good points Vince. And earlier someone made the point about just going in a playing the various guitars--that means more than anything. But when you find a...
Thanks, John. It seems to be unanimous. I guess that clinches it. Mike Amato PhydeauxVvvvV1@... wrote: I played Dreads for a while and went to an OM and...
Thanks, Ed. She doesn't need the volume of a dreadnaught, and you are right that neck width is important. We'll have to do some more shopping for individual...
All correct - although there are silly exceptions, that tend to confuse. Also - the 000 12 fret, has a 1 13/16" nut width and a 25.5" scale length - as a...
Looks like the Blueridges are going for a more contemporary feel than a true 000 experience... I had a check around the web and came across some specs... Looks...
Trevor, That is a pretty standard 000. The scale is usually 24.9, but the standard 000 is a 14 fret 1-11/16 neck. The 000 S models are 12 fret. But 000-16s...
I have a Parlor Larrivee and it's got to be the easiest guitar to play , but sounds spectacular. John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi Gang, I am a new commer to the group, and will be new to accoustic guitars. I have played electric for the past 30 years, and had a group most of the time....
I'm interested in learning some traditionals. I didn't realize the Grateful Dead played so many traditionals. I already know the chords to C C Rider,...

Hi, I didn't get much response to my message # 6335. I can't believe that every one in the group owns the expensive guitars, such as Gibson,Martin etc. I want...
