Most are familiar with the term Drednought in terms of acoustic guitars such as Martin D series and Taylor's 10 series but does anyone know where the term Dreadnought came from? and if so how did the term come about!
NO GOOGLING!

Martin Ditson
Unfair advantage, one of Sylvan's Baystates is called a Ditson so I've read up on them

Dreadnought comes from a term used to describe the largest of British Battleships in WWI & II. Martin was the first to use the term for a guitar.
