Martin's 14-fret 000 in its two long-standing wood pairings: the 000-28 and the 000-18.
Watch
Why it matters
The 000 body sits between Martin's smaller 00 and the full Dreadnought, and the 14-fret neck join keeps the left hand closer to the body than a 12-fret version. Both models are standard-series instruments with solid spruce tops, the 000-28 pairing it with rosewood and the 000-18 with mahogany. They are aimed at balanced fingerstyle playing rather than maximum volume, and both remain easy to find new or used.
Note
The 14-fret 000: fingerstyle-friendly standard of the singer-songwriter world.
