Blaming the guitar just doesn't hold up under scrutiny. There are thousands of records recorded with Martin dreads that sound wonderful. If you can't get a good sound out of a great Martin, the problem isn't the guitar. The problem may be the room or it may how the player is being mic-ed; but it's not the guitar.
