Yep, and it appears that most guys and gals known for being excellent acoustic guitarists play 000 or bigger. Not surprising, perhaps, since this covers most guitars. But I would be surprised if someone (including another player) would refer to my OM as “that small guitar.” It’s just a guitar. A 00 or smaller is a different story, more likely to be referred to as a “cool little guitar” or some such.
