Dreadnaught vs. Folk

[czech]

Oh yeah, buy the Dred, it seems with alvarez's, the folk style is a more girl/beginner guitar. Its a bit smaller and easier to play for small people, like girls

hahaha, the wording you used is just too fucking funny.
ya, my bro's wife has a seagul folk, i kinda liked it, it just felt a bit small. but when Dave played in SD he was playing a folk style and it sounded amazing. So that is where my dilema came into play.

Fairly confident what dave played was a Grand Auditorium, not a Folk.. may be the same, but that's the technical name for his guitar

what do you consider a "folk" guitar?

Folk Guitar = steel string acoustic

So . . . I have no idea what they are talking about

yea, I dont know either, the ussual body styles are parlor, 00, OM, 000, small jumbo, dreadnought, and jumbo.

Looks like that alvarez is somewhere between a small jumbo and an OM style(kinda like a taylor 514,514,714...). I think they would both have a great sound(large powerful bass and a nice high end), the "folk" might be a better guitar for fingerpicking, but Dreads sound nice fingerpicked(despite what some people say).

well, it is settled, i am just far too stupid to buy a guitar.

P.S. I played an alvarez today at the guitar shop by my house. I LOVED it. It was $600 fusion series though.

the other thing that bummed me out is that on the models of the alvarez's i like, there is no inlay on the frets except for on the 12th.

so? inlays are for pussies! they are still dotted at the tops of the fretboard, you don't need to see the front of the fretboard to play anyway.. you'll get used to it..my martin dx1 has no inlays at all and it doesn't effect me 8)

I figured so much.


Well, now I just have to decide between the Alvarez AD60SC or the Alvarez RD20sc

I like inlays all the way. It looks good.

Ya, i've decided on the AD60SC, it's just too much nicer for being $80 more.

Folk guitars are similar to a smaller parlor size guitar and good for finger picking. Dreds have a fuller sound. If someone already said that oh well...
