They are very good for more classical guitar types of arrangements, or generally when playing lots of open strings at the same time as strings fretted much higher up the neck
I sold it to a friend who is a classical guitarist normally... perfect for her.

The strings which suited it perfectly though D'addario ej40 silk and steels, but they only last me about a fortnight. I'll certainly bung some on when I record with it though, they mellow out the J-35's tone nicely, without sounding like old, dead strings.
1 13/16 nut width / Short Scale / 12th Fret / Spruce/Mahogany / X Braced / Strung with 11's....
Sounds great to me.....but as a blues picker, I'm keen to try a Ladder Braced Parlour.
Waterloo will be the closest modern interpretation of them. Fairly easy to find in the uk.
Never ignore Harmony guitars. 1930s 0 size solid birch to some people may sound like fire wood but for me they are fantastic value, boxy punchy and cheap. The 60s H162 and H165 000 size are superb. All solid spruce and or mahogany with gorgeous aged colour and aged tone to match. What’s not to love. Good enough for lightnin Hopkins good enough for me.
These guitars couldnt be deacribed as dynamic but they have a niche all of they’re own.
Sorry to rabbit on. Im in danger of hijacking this thread. I’m not sure these are the kind of guitars the OP is looking for.
