    A slim bodied acoustic will be quieter and usually have less bass.

    A deeper bodied acoustic will be louder and project more with more bass (usually).

    A pro/con between them to consider is that slim bodied acoustics are less prone to feedback and deeper bodied acoustics are more prone to it. This is something to consider if you play live a lot.

    Dont ask here!

    Go try a bunch and let the guitar pick you.


    ... like a puppy dog.

    just never had one before so was unsure.

    Also, fingerpicking is better suited to slimmer bodied guitars. the bass tends to be too heavy on dreadnaoughts....but maybe thats what you want.

    Dreadnaoughts are better for strumming and generally rocking out
