Do you own a 00?

[KevinH]

I talked with Daveswoodstockmusic a few days ago. The one they list on their website is actually sold. Anything ordered is taking about 6 months now, according to Larrivee.

Kind of what I was thinking, but so far our little band of guitaraholics is 2:1 in favor of owning a 00! Maybe Larrivee found a different result.

After trying various guitars I've found myself evolving into the 00 size as time goes by. Parlors are too small and 000 and larger are a wee bit big.

I currently own 3 00's, an earlier Larrivee custom 00-9 rosewood with a cedar top, a Waterloo WL-12Mh and a Waterloo WL-14. All are wonderful guitars that I hope to always have.

I didn't realize that Larrivee OO's were so scarce; I have often entertained thoughts of getting an OO-03 and rubbing out the mahogany but I haven't seriously pursued one. I may just go ahead with it.

The rest of my guitars, a Martin 0-18, a Larrivee custom LS-03, and a Gibson J-35 satisfy my wants to occasionally play something else, but rarely get the opportunity to be used.

Pretty sure that Larrivee made a number of special 00s to spec for members of the Larrivee Forum. Looked like nice guitars to me. Might want to take a peek over there.

Yes, Taylor 812c 1993 . Sounds so good

A older Japanese made kind of 00-28 copy guitar, a Martin 00-15, and then my Seagull Folk is sort of a 00 size.

I think it's a perfectly good size for what I do most of the time obviously.

I’ve got a Froggy C that’s as good as any I’ve played. Might be fun to add something different.

I voted zero because I currently own none but there was a time when I owned three at once!

I love the 00 size and had a Martin style custom built with walnut/lutz. I style have a Gibson style custom mahogany/engleman, L-1 shape. Its a great little blues box. Just beautiful. Im looking for a Pono 00 now. I saw one but let it get away.

I own, and am very fond of, a Martin 00-18.

I had a 00-18 until about last December...and I miss it a lot. My next guitar will be, without a doubt, another Martin 00-18.

1 and done for me. The Gibson L-00 is one of my favorite guitars. This from a Dread/Jumbo player since around 1980. I've played a few other 00 size guitars, but none did anything for me. The L-00 is just a good sounding and easy playing acoustic. Not ready to give up my bigger guitars, but the L-00 isn't going anywhere either.

I have a Taylor GC7 (712), Martin 0028, and Farida OT22w. Great variety of sound across these 3 guitars. The 00 size has become my favorite.

Had an Eastman E 10 00
It is a very cool guitar. I sold it to my neighbor for his son to learn on.
