  "Martin Guitar Sizes - In the 1960's, the Martin guitar, and more specifically, the Martin Dreadnaught, became identified as the industry standard for all serious guitar players, ...   While perceived as a tiny guitar by today's standards, the size 1 was considered to be Martin's "Standard" size guitar, and was tremendously popular in Martin's early years, ...   While the single 0, the first guitar designed specifically for use in "concert", as opposed to the "parlor", appeared in 1854, the larger 00 size "Grand Concert" did not appear until 1873, nearly 20 years later. When the 000 was introduced in 1902, it sold very poorly, and was not widely accepted until the 1920's.",
