I find the 5" depth can be a struggle on the arm sometime so I might look at an 00 or OM body with different woods

What’s the sound like going between 00 and 000 ?
Mahogany and spruce?
00's can be boxier, but are you flat picking or playing finger style?

I like aspects of all of them and they have their specific advantages.
I have a 00-12 and OM in spruce and mahogany and they are almost impossible to compare, they are two very different guitars.
All my guitars are spruce and mahogany aside from the 00-14, but they are all very different in character. I think the bracing is the most important aspect to it all.
Dreadnought, for me. They just sound better.
If it matters I'm 5'6", skinny and with small hands too...

(And a Vintage 00-000 size, but one day I will replace that with a Gibson or Epiphone J-160E electric round-shoulder Dreadnought .)

if a guitar sounds huge acoustically, (lots of bass) that can be a guitar that is hard to amplify. Lowdens, as
an example are the opposite to Maton, lightly
built and sounds amazing unplugged but in a live situation take a lot of tweaking as they
are too boomy.
So i guess I’ll be looking next for something that I can play at home to record that Is inspiring to play,
balanced and comfortable.
I guess I like parlours the least (probably because I've only played a handful and they were all tinny little things - people tell me a good one can be great) and I'm not a big fan of dreadnoughts, though I love a good jumbo.
So in order:
* OM (AKA 808 AKA Grand auditorium AKA all those other names for the same thing)
* Jumbo
* Dreadnought
* Parlour
Having said that, two of my five guitars are dreadnoughts, though I've nearly decided to sell one of them in favour of another 808.
