Thanks Doug and c'mon... we both know the show and tell is happening.

I primarily use a Wegen 1.5mm mando pick as my go to flatpick these days--love the tone and control it gives me.
Thanks for the tip Kevin! I got the gravity pick at Sam Ash and remembered that blue chip is popular but forgot about Wegen. I will definitely give it a try.

Thanks Tom, I think I'll try one of each. Whenever I have used a pick it's been a 0.88mm Jim Dunlop Primetone so this is new territory for me.

Congrats on this awesome build. Another vote for the Wegen 1.0. I alternate between those and BC TD 40 or 45's lately.

I haven’t tried these. I’m a Primetone guy.

That dread looks great!!

Hey I know you. I hope you found space in the shop for all of the wood we went through!

Thanks Mike! I've been a primetone guy too for quite some time. I'm going to give it a shot on the dread as well but the usual suspects mentioned have to be popular for a reason, right?

One other item I forgot to mention. I'm using 12.5-55 curt mangan pb strings on the dread. I'm used to lights for fingerstyle and mediums felt like too much for this application. This in between gauge hits the sweet spot though I might explore 80/20s as well to see how they sound.

Thanks Dennis! The 00-12 you played at BIG is near and dear to me but I'll say this about the dreadnought-it has really surprised me and has blown me away. I read a thread awhile ago in the general forum about whether it's worth commissioning a dreadnought from a luthier. Admittedly, I wondered if it's worthwhile but wanted to have a guitar for strumming. The dread has the responsive qualities one would expect from a luthier made instrument but does all of the dreadnought things (projection, huge soundstage, etc) in spades.

I'm having a blast getting reacquainted with a pick and am enjoying strumming big open chords. This will definitely be in the stable as a fellow lifer along with the 00-12. Now I'm thinking the 15" body size should be considered to split the difference between the two!

Awesome build Vasu and congratulations for #2!. I hope you cherish it along with your OO. Only you could source used Alessi tuners.

Thanks Dan! Believe it or not I haven't played the 00 much this week. The dread is getting all the attention and putting a smile on my face.

The tuners are just dumb luck that fell my way. I was searching for various parts of the build and stumbled upon them. I guess fomo can pay off!
