Thread Name: Folk Size vs. Dreadnought Size Guitars?
Subject: RE: Folk Size vs. Dreadnought Size Guitars?
I have 2 guitars right now that I absolutely love. One is a Martin HD-28 (Dreadnought) and the other is a much smaller bodied Taylor Grand Concert much like the one in the link:

Taylor Grand Concert

They're both marvelous, but quite different. The Taylor is very comfortable to hold and play because it's small, and it has wonderful tone, terrific for finger picking, tough enough that you can drive it hard too. The Martin is more awkward to hold, like all big guitars, but it's got a great sound right across the range. I like to switch back and forth between them for a change of mood.
