I agree with these comments. Dreadnought’s are not all created equal. Go play a bunch and see what feels best. I started out with a Recording King RD06. Great guitar and I couldn’t play it worth a crap. I probably played 15 different guitars, went back and played the ones I liked a few times, and by deduction came up with my current lineup. Currently have a Taylor AD17 Grand Pacific. It is a big dreadnought, however plays so much easier than the recording king, feels more comfortable, and I can play it without any discomfort. I also have a Taylor Big Baby that is a 5/16 sized guitar. Slightly smaller than the typical dread, and has a slightly thinner body as well. Scale length is still 25 1/2. Neck width is 1 11/16, compared to the 1 3/4 neck on the AD17. The Big Baby is such an easy guitar to play, still has great sound, and you can pick one up for less than $500. Just some additional thoughts to make this even more confusing for you. 🤣
