Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Warm when you need it and punchy when you want it! There's a lot about this Style 17 reproduction that charms. The long scale is a wonderful aspect of the old 000s, giving you plenty of clarity and volume for something of this size. All the cosmetics are smile-inducing, too--that tortoise binding couldn't look better sitting around the shadeburst top. Throw in the condition and price and you'll be grinning from ear to ear!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Martin and Co.
Resurrecting the look of our early Style 17 guitars, the 17 Series features a shaded gloss Sitka Spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and tortoise brown binding. The 000-17SM features a tight, 12-fret body and vintage slotted headstock for a truly one-of-a-kind instrument.
