Posted by John Pappajohn I also pluck around on an Ibanez dreadnought which doesn't sound nearly as good as either of the above. But it sounds pretty good set up for slide (this setup involves slightly higher action and heavier strings, especially in the high string). Set up this way, the Ibanez provides a nice middle ground between the slicing resonator sound and the warm dreadnought. I am thinking about getting another quality guitar and setting it up for slide (I would also play non-slide open tunings on it). Any suggestions as to some good ones? I have been told to consider a smaller guitar, maybe even a parlor model -- can anyone offer first-hand experience playing slide on one of these? I have heard that Martin guitars are not good for blues -- opinions? Regards,

I play two guitars: a Dean Chrome S resonator (which sounds great for slide and/or non-slide open tunings), and a Taylor 410ce dreadnought for non-slide (which sounds great for non-slide standard tuning).
