hi,

I'm new to bluegrass but very committed to jam camps and local jams etc., at least if I can get to be decent. Having suddenly realized that there's a reason that bluegrassers all play dreads I now have a gorgeous used but immaculate Collings, which is great for pushing me to play more and better, but I would hate to do something stupid to it at jam camp.

There was thread on this forum a while back about what to take to a jam camp or festival. I totally get the "what you are saving if for" argument (yolo?), and thought that's what I would think. But I also know that it's nice not to have to worry TOO much about instruments.

So I wonder if there are suggestions for a good jam-camp dreadnought, especially if I can find one used. Based on that comparison video the Eastman D10 seems like a good bet, and I hear good things about the Blueridge. I started with a Seagull S6, and loved it, but that was a long time ago and before I ever tried a flatpick; would it work for bluegrass?

Thanks.

will
