Sounds great like a good bluegrass dreadnought.. What strings and gauge are you using? What flat pick model and thickness?

[@musictomyears6169]

D'Addario Medium strings and a Heavy Pick. Tortoise or Primetone picks are popular and we just got in some Tusq Picks that have different tones that are pretty cool.

[@billdedrick1914]

EJ17 or the XS coated? Thickness of the TS? @@musictomyears6169

[@musictomyears6169]

EJ17, 1.5mm

[@billdedrick1914]

How consistent are these Recording King RD-342? How do they compare to the RD-328?

[@musictomyears6169]

Their very consistent. They have a AAA Grade Adirondack Top which is a better selection of wood than the 328 and they have 1 3/4" neck on it which is easier to play than the the standard 1 11/16" that's on the 328. And you pay more for the pretty bling too.

Put Mediums on it and it is as loud as you could ever want

[@ramspencer5492]

If it's forward bracing.... And you don't have to go play bluegrass.... It may extend the life of the guitar to use light strings.... Often with the right guitar it doesn't actually sound better when you put medium strings on it... If you get plenty of vibration with a little less weight...It does depend on the guitar though.
