Artists who use small-body guitars
I can name a bunch of contemporary artists that play dreadnought acoustics, and even a few that are seen mostly playing 000/OM-size guitars…but I can think of only one or two that commonly play smaller 00/0 body instruments…
Brandi Carlile…00 Collings & Martins Kenneth Pattengale (Milk Carton Kids)…Custom & vintage Martin 0-15’s Can you think of any others who commonly choose smaller body acoustic guitars as their choice?

Taylor Swift plays a Baby Taylor.
Ed Sheehan plays a Little Martin. I've tried both of those guitars when I was shopping for my GS Mini. They look, feel, and sound like toys.

Jeff Tweedy plays a myriad of small body guitars (0-18, 00-21 and a few Waterloos come to mind but there are lots more I’m sure, he rotates gear a lot but it seems like smaller and medium sized guitars are his primary acoustic focus).

Plenty of artists use smaller guitars.
John Paul White (formerly of the Civil Wars) plays a vintage Martin 00-18. Joan Baez is known for her 0-45.

I'm 6'5" tall with an looooooong wingspan. For me, a J-200 is a small-body guitar

I love small-bodied guitars (Collings Baby2H and 01Mh T, Martin 0-18 and 5-15, Wee Lowden)! Sorry, I hate to be "that guy" but:

Ed Sheehan plays Wee Lowdens (and the Sheeran line of guitars by Lowden is comprised of Wee- and S-bodies). No one has mentioned David Rawlings and his '35 Epiphone Olympic (13 5/8" across the lower out) yet. Aoife O'Donovan plays a 30's Martin 0-17 and Collings 01Mh.
