Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

A great 00 from Martin with looks and tone from a bygone era. Martin's 17 series does a masterful job of melding vintage sound/design with modern playability. This short scale 12-fretter has all of the punch and percussiveness that we love about the old catalog guitars -- with a neck that's comfortable and manageable with Martin's modified low oval profile. This little guy is sure to surprise with its rich voice, impressive bass response, and ample volume.

From Martin and Co.

A captivating Black Smoke finish on a Grand Concert model that is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to your ears. The 00-17S features a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides and a rosewood fingerboard and matching bridge. The sleek modified low oval neck with a Performing Artist taper allows for greater ease of play up and down the fretboard. You can start a musical journey that will last a lifetime with this model.
