I thought of several titles for this - "Size matters", "Six oughts", "The Three Bears"....

The story is that I have built all three of the classic small Martin sizes, single, double and triple ought (as in buck shot, wire size, not "oh"). I was visiting my daughter last weekend and asked if I could take the little 0-41 home with me. Since it was out, I thought I'd better take a picture with its big brother and sister.

 

It does give you a pretty good idea of the differences between sizes - all three are 12 fretters (the 0-41 is short scale, the others are long). The 0 and 000 are Sitka over rosewood, the 00 in the middle is my all mahogany blues box.

 

I'm also a crappy photographer.....
