I’d probably make a similar observation about Chris Stapleton, whose guitar (LG-2) provides accompaniment to a fabulous singing voice. Which is great. Closer would be Rodney Crowell perhaps, who is more of a player, and who uses a small guitar of some kind these days. I think most of your real guitar guys and gals tend to use a 000/OM or bigger. |

Martin had a number of models numbered according to body size and prospective "audience" size. Size 2 - "amateur" (12 inch wide body) size 1 - "standard" (actually rarely made) Size 0 - "concert" (13 1/2" wide) Size 00 - "Grand concert" (14 & 1/8" wide) -possibly the best proportioned guitar made! Size - 000 - "Auditorium" (15" wide!) and that was as big as they got until 1931 when the dreadnought was introduced. You might consider the term "parlour" to apply to the size 2 to size 0 (if you can hold a concert in your kitchen or lounge!) I'm not sure what you mean by "rock" but here's a size 0 being used by a great band, and hear how it cuts through. I saw this band earlier this year and he gave me his guitar to play and it felt "just fine". Here is my Eastman Size "0" (also called P for parlour by them) compared to my 000 (Auditorium)

Yeah, real, in response to the OP’s specific question. And evident in most responses here, where people have characterized 000s and OMs as “smaller“ guitars.

David is now playing a fairly large D’Angelico arch top that belonged to Homer of Homer and Jethro.

Don’t forget that Dreads came into existence to compete, unamplified, with a Big Band horn section.
It was only later that Bluegrass discovered it’s flat picking mojo |

True but once you stick a piezo in an acoustic it it becomes an unpleasantly sounding electric guitar.

The OM introduced in 1929 was discontinued by 1933 and replaced by the 14 fret dreadnought in '34.

I think it's reasonable to consider 000/OM as "smaller" guitars, since the dread has long been the "standard" size given sales numbers and general public perception for decades now. Were you to ask, "Smaller than what?", I'd be willing to bet the most popular answer would be, "Smaller than a dreadnaught."
