You know that dreads are the big guns. Martin designed the dread to compete in volume with a banjo hence the term/pun "banjo killer". Dreads have the big boom. Lots of bass. Well its all to do with x bracing
Here's what Sam says
"How I make a Banjo Killer with forward X bracing
Banjos are loud! I build them, and I love to play them, but in a bluegrass band their volume is tough for a guitar to compete with. That's why I build my Sams Guitars to be Banjo Killers: using forward X bracing to make them louder."
So now you know , you kill a banjo with x bracing, a Mandolin, a Banjo Mandolin even, or better still a large hammer !
