Thanks! You make excellent points!
I am reallyyyy loving the dread! I do prefer to fingerpick on the Ibanez concert but I think it's just going to take time to get used to the string spacing on the dread...which is why I'm intentionally working on fingerpicking songs right now with it. I will play both regularly though as they are out all the time, ready to be played.
