She was one of the first people I ever saw with a C10. I now own one, albeit a deep body.

He's also quite partial to a C10.

As mentioned, Aoife O'Donovan and I'm With Her bandmate Sarah Jarosz, often play a Collings 0 live, though Sarah has started also playing a Collings OM, rather than her faithful D1. Anthony Da Costa has a lovely black Waterloo WL-12.

(Sorry closet Collings spotter here!)

Tim Grimm is among my favorite singer songwriters. He played a Lowden 025 the first couple of times I saw him but has been playing a small OC Bear since then.

He wrote a song that explains why. He had it made from a walnut tree that was downed by lightning on his family's farm before he was born...thirteen years before.

Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) plays parlor size guitars. In the 70’s he played a Martin 0-16NY.

I didn't notice James Taylor mentioned. I believe his Olsen guitars are small body guitars. Maybe OM-sized.

Andersons is just about the smallest I have seen with a full width neck.He has two near identical of these tiny guitars, one of which was made by Brook in the UK I think.

Madeleine Peyroux (mostly Billie Holiday style jazz tunes) uses a Martin 0-17

Jon

Colter Wall with 2 different ones

Our own Eric Skye plays a 00 Santa Cruz and I saw Neil Young not too long ago and he played several songs on an 0 sized Martin.

Robbie Roberston's signature Martin is a 00 as well.

[Puerto Player]

John Lennon

Kenneth Pattengale from the Milk Carton Kids plays a vintage 0 Martin. And he is quite good.

Justin Townes Earle played almost exclusively small body guitars.
Often inexpensive guitars like his Loar LO-16

15+ inch lower bout, so more mid sized like a 000 or OM.
