  • Comments: The BG-52 was clearly designed to be an end-all Dread capable of holding its own in any band setting, or excelling in the most delicate and spacious parts. This guitar is a canon for sure, but probably the most appealing feature is how alive it is. Many Dreads can be a bit “one-dimensional” offering lots of volume but not enough overall dynamic range. Not this one…the sonic spectrum is fully represented, and there is an amazing range of dynamics to choose from. Both single-note work and chords have an orchestral quality with very beautiful, controlled overtones. This definitely ranks with the best Dreads I have ever heard.
