I don't understand why the dss feels more comfortable than a Standard dread.



thanks

DSS-17 looks to be 10 7/8” at the waist; the D-41 is 10 3/4”.

Interesting you find the slope to be more comfortable. I don’t find it uncomfortable at all...but I definitely notice the extra 1/2” on the lower bout when I play seated, which is about 99% of the time. The D-41 is, to me, SUPER comfortable. Maybe those soft shoulders are doing it for you?
