A 00 guitar is a comfortable, mid-sized acoustic with a warm, balanced tone, offering more bass than a Parlor guitar but less than a OOO, making it versatile for fingerpicking, intimate strumming, and songwriting. OOs are also great for lead playing that will cut through a mix. OOs feature a smaller body than OOOs or dreadnoughts, often with a shorter scale length delivering clarity and projection suitable for both solo performers and small gigs.
The images below show some of the recent OO guitars I have made, as well as some of the unusual woods I have.
