Description

The Martin 000-17 offers players an all-solid-mahogany mid-sized 000 acoustic guitar, which features the carefully thought-out modern refinements and playability in partnership with the vintage-inspired aesthetics and tone that’s found in Martin’s acclaimed Standard Series.

Elegantly finished in Satin, the Martin 000-17 feels natural under the arms and fingers and is a dream to play with a balanced and resonant tone with warm, woody overtones and articulate highs. The body features Martin’s GE-scalloped forward shifted X bracing, meaning that the 000-17 has a strong and robust structure that’ll last a lifetime. Offering excellent stability, this bracing also allows the top to vibrate more freely for improved resonance.

Key Features

• All-Mahogany Body – The all-mahogany 000 body offers a balanced tone that suits fingerstyle and strumming and provides an articulate woody tone with warm and rich harmonic sustain.
• Golden Era Design – Featuring Martins Golden Era refinements the 000-17 comes equipped with a modernised GE bridge, boasting smoother curves and subtler edges as well as Martins GE scalloped X bracing, giving the 000-17 richly enhanced sustain and a robust structure .
• Classic Appointments – With its beautiful Satin finish, Nickel Open Gear tuners and Abalone Diamond and Square inlays the 000-17 oozes class and looks as good as it sounds!

Classic Construction

The neck is formed from Select Hardwood, an incredibly stable choice that is less prone to warping in differing temperatures. Topped with an Ebony fretboard, this sleek and elegant-looking wood not only feels smooth under the fingers but also offers a clear upper mid-range sparkle that gives a reassuring bite to notes.

With a GE modified low oval neck profile, the 000-17 Standard provides a comfortable position for your left hand to fret shapes without feeling fatigue. This new shape strikes the perfect balance between a vintage and modern feel.

With each guitar undergoing a thorough process via a cutting-edge PLEK machine, this amazing piece of technology accurately measures and dresses the frets for unparalleled consistency across the neck. This practically eliminates buzzing and enhances the playability of the guitar as a whole.

A real bone nut not only gives off that vintage Martin aesthetic but also improves sustain and is less likely to wear compared to synthetic alternatives. This instrument’s open gear tuning machines also scream that old-school vibe, with the Faux Tortoise pickguard adding that extra touch of class.
