I love the deeper punchy notes of a dreadnought.

It sure does have a deep sound. I've posted two videos one after the other tonight as they are closely tied together in terms of the content.
Another good one to watch when you have a chance, https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7574126/

Thank you all for your support. It is appreciated.
You said 22 frets, but I count 20 :) I don't think many acoustic players get right up there anyway, especially with no cutaway.
You are correct @steevc check the video. I've sorted it our now thanks. My brain is not playing ball with me lately.
I know what it's like when you try to do these things with no script. It's a nice looking guitar anyway.
