Are the Little Martin guitars made in the U.S.A?

Mexico I believe.

I used to have one, nicely built.

Also do the Little Martin guitars sound like Parlor guitars? Are there other musicians that use the Little Martin guitar besides Ed Sheeran?

It didn't sound like a parlor guitar to me. I expect much more focus on the mids for a parlor. At least mine had more articulation.

Not to my knowledge. I think it's a cool small guitar but not really a unique sound/tool to have.

The Martin Backpacker is quite mid-focused, if that is what you’re looking for. But it’s a bit tinny and the action can be quite high.

FWIW the best sounding parlor guitar I’ve ever played was a Washburn with a maple top. Amazing tone and projection. Strong mids, loud, cut though with other acoustic instruments.

Does the Little Martin have the typical balance tone like other small body acoustics?
