It's one of the most iconic and beloved guitars out there, and for good reason! In 1916, Martin introduced the "Dreadnought" - named after the British battleship of the same name - and it was an instant hit. The Dreadnought was larger and more powerful than previous acoustic guitar designs, with a wider lower bout, deeper body, and longer scale length. This gave it a louder, fuller sound that could cut through a mix of other instruments. Thanks to @patxguitar for the great video #guitarsdaily #a
