Members catdaddy Posted September 9, 2005 Members Posted September 9, 2005 What's the best (your subjective opinion please) dread you've ever had the pleasure of playing? And what made it the "best" for you?
Members t60 fan Posted September 9, 2005 Members Posted September 9, 2005 At Wildwood Music in Coshocton Ohio I played a Larrivee dread (along with tons of others) that blew me away. Don't know the model, but lots of inlay. Ablsolutely spinetingling clarity and projection. Literally gave me chills. Man I wish I could've afforded it.

Members guitar-fish Posted September 10, 2005 Members Posted September 10, 2005 In my very subjective opinion, it was the Martin D-41.A Rosewood beauty, elegant abalone inlays, it begged me to take it home with me. Sounded fab! But it was $3,100, and I live this place called reality.
Members riffmeister Posted September 10, 2005 Members Posted September 10, 2005 the Collings D1A that is sitting in my lap. fablous classic dread sound.....big low end, clear mids, rich but articulate high end, awesome volume when you dig in.

Members green2 Posted September 10, 2005 Members Posted September 10, 2005 my martin hd-35 sounds great. very full sounding. each note is articulated well up and down the neck.

I live in reality too, but am now looking for appartments in la-la land where the guitars are free and make you sound like a virtuoso.
Members Pikeusa Posted September 10, 2005 Members Posted September 10, 2005 I've got a Bourgeois built Washburn Cherokee rosewood dred that sounds better than almost everything I've played. Lightest bracing I've ever seen and top bracing shifted so far forward, you'd think it was touching the sound hole. I did play a Martin D45 in New York City in the late '60's that I've never forgotten though.
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted September 10, 2005 Members Posted September 10, 2005 A 1951 D-18 Martin that I bought in Mena, Arkansas for $100 in 1974, and later sold due to the stupid idea that I "needed" a rosewood Martin (I was heavily into bluegrass at the time). The guy who bought it still has it and won't sell it back, but has promised to leave it to me in his will, so long as I have nothing to do with his demise...
