Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

What a treat to get this one in!  All mahogany OOs are a true thing of beauty and no maker has a richer history or relationship with their distinct sound and style than Martin.  This particular model is no longer in production, currently replaced by the somewhat less-adorned OO-15--the OO-17 gets you a tasteful appointment package of gloss finish, binding here and there, and gold tuners.  Tonally it's as warm and dry as a sun-filled room with the windows flung open.  Unwavering sustain, definite thump-ability, and a full, earthy midrange are all right there, front and center.  With this in your hands all you need is a straight-backed chair and a floor for your foot to tap--the rest takes care of itself!
