Hi flouris,
Welcome to the AGF! You can learn a lot here, stick around!

I dont know, but it sounds to me that you might be playing behind the soundhole near the bridge where the strings attach. This will produce a "Twangy" sound especially from the B and high E strings as you have noticed. Try strumming directly over the sound hole, that will alleviate the Tinny bright twangy sound you detest. Also try different strings, some brands are certainly going to be brighter than others. Im not sure what your using now but with most modern dreads even the laminates you should be able to get a nice "warm" tone out of your guitar. What are you working with??

I bet you will get a ton of suggestions, for me, Its bedtime!
Take care,

Sammy
