About This Guitar
The Martin 000-17 is a fresh addition to the Standard Series lineup, blending classic design with modern refinements for enhanced tone, playability, and style. This 14-fret 000 model boasts a solid mahogany satin-finished body, delivering that warm, woody tone youβd expect from a handcrafted, mahogany Martin. What sets the new 000-17 apart are new refinements, such as a traditional compound dovetail neck joint and Sitka spruce Golden Era (GE) top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, which offers a more vintage, breathy tone. Playability enhancements like a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing elevate the player experience. The satin-finished select hardwood neck, with its shorter scale length, ebony fingerboard, and vintage-inspired GE modified low oval profile, is a dream for players who crave fast, effortless playability. Other details like a sleeker heel and ebony bridge with smoother, comfortable corners only add to this guitarβs timeless look and feel. Whether youβre a fingerstyle player or prefer heavy-handed strumming, the Martin 000-17 delivers balanced, dynamic sound with a classic, vintage vibe thatβs anything but standard.
