Vintage construction, modern playability
The Martin 000-17 acoustic guitar has the popular Auditorium body that has been a favorite among performing guitarists for many decades. Its body delivers rich low end, while giving each note a balance and clarity that works as a solo instrument or for accompanying your voice. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret for a total scale length just over 24.5". And the neck is built with Martin's Modified Low Oval profile with High Performance Taper to appeal to moder player's demands.
Sonically rich wood combination
The mahogany, spruce, and rosewood wood combination used on the 000-17 is exceptionally popular for the way it balances warmth, detail, and a wide frequency response. The solid spruce top offers great stiffness-to-weight ratio to get maximum volume and power from your strings. The solid mahogany back and sides ensure your tone stays even across the frequency range, while delivering plenty of warmth. And the rosewood fretboard also contributes to the rich harmonic warmth of the guitar.
Streamlined appearance
Both modern players who want a striking-looking instrument and lovers of vintage Martins will love the straight-forward appearance of the 000-17. The guitar's minimal fretboard inlays and simple ivoroid binding and pickguard give it the look of a well-loved prize from the pre-war era. And Martin's Black Smoke satin finish helps enhance the tone of the guitar by letting the woods move and breath naturally. Now you can buy a brand-new Martin from Musiekwereld and get a pre-war Martin experience.
