Dreadnought body provides a loud, bold, resonant tone

With square shoulders and a square bottom, dreadnought guitars have enjoyed particular success among folk and bluegrass musicians due to the dreadnought's rich, resonant quality. Pretty much the standard shape for flatpickers, dreadnoughts not only produce exceptional deep tones, they're also known for their articulation and all-around balanced sound.
