This is one I've been watching. As a novice guitarist, here's what I'm getting. Lemme know if I'm way off on something
The Dreadnought usually delivers a bigger, fuller sound, projects more...broad tune including plenty of low end. Seem to be good for full strumming and bigger sound stuff. (Johnny Cash if you will)
OOs are a little easier to handle due the the shape and have a little more "balanced" sound...but generally not as "big" sounding as the dread.
Grand Performance Cutaways...at least in the Martin line...are kind of the in between. THE GP body is deeper like a dread and still throws nice sound with not as much low end and the cut away makes it a little easier to handle. One demo vid called it a nice mid point between the two.
Understanding that woods, strings, finishes can alter all that...is that a pretty fair way for a novice to grasp it?
