What is a dreadnought guitar?
A dreadnought guitar is the most popular acoustic guitar shapes. It’s recognizable for its larger body, less rounded contours, and its bold, rich, and loud sound. The name “dreadnought” is a reference to its larger size; it was named after a WWI-era battleship called the HMS Dreadnought. It’s popular in many genres of music, from folk and country to alternative and rock.
Is a dreadnought guitar good for beginners?
A dreadnought guitar is a strong guitar for beginners. Because it’s such a popular shape, there are plenty of high-quality and affordable options from builders to choose from. However, it does have a larger body, which might not be suitable for beginners if they’re young or have smaller bodies themselves.
How big is a dreadnought guitar?
While the exact dreadnought guitar dimensions vary, they’re often about 20 inches long, are just under five inches deep, have an upper bout of 11-12 inches, a waist that’s about 11 inches, and a lower bout that’s just under 16 inches.
What is a dreadnought cutaway guitar?
A dreadnought guitar cutaway is a dreadnought acoustic guitar that has part of the lower bout near the front carved away in a roughly 90 degree, crescent shape. Some guitarists prefer a cutaway guitar because it allows easier access to higher frets on the guitar. While having a cutaway does change the shape of the guitar and might impact the fullness of the sound in the lower register, guitars with and without cutaways sound the same in quality.
