The Martin CEO-7 is an awesome guitar. It’s got a sweet warm tone and is comfortable (size wise) to play. It is known among many players that it’s an underpriced guitar, meaning that you get more guitar than you pay for. I believe it has an Adirondack Spruce top which is often considered as an upgrade to Sitka Spruce. It’s also got the mahogany back and sides to give you that sweet blues-y vintage tone. This is the smallest guitar on your list thus far with a double-O body shape. I only have one issue with it and I will emphasize that this is just MY issue. The neck carve is V-shaped. I am more of a low oval neck shape player. If not for this specification difference, I’d probably own one myself but that spec is a game changer for me as it didn’t feel quite right in my hands. I will emphasize again that this is an individual choice amongst players so if this is something that you are comfortable with, then by all means pursue it (or at least try one out). This guitar is popular among a few owners here in TAC who just love their CEO-7s. I believe there is a thread somewhere here in this forum speaking about the wonders of this guitar. It is definitely worth you giving it a look and try.
