Catfish Keith uses a Flammang parlor when he plays regular fingerstyle (he uses National Resophonic for slide)

I paused a video on YouTube to see what he is playing - turns out it's a little Martin LXME. He's been popping up all over the place lately.

Default Big sounds from small guitars
Larry Carlton had Mike McGuire make him a 00 / Parlor sized acoustic in the 80's - he still records and plays live with it.

Roy Bookbinder has been playing a New Era Guitar. Looks like its a L-00 sized guitar. New Era even has a Roy Bookbinder signature model.
