Discover the perfect blend of vintage style and modern playability with the Martin 000-17 Acoustic Guitar, available exclusively at Irvine Art and Music. This beautifully crafted instrument offers a unique look and balanced sound, making it a favorite among fingerstylists and performers alike.

Vintage Construction with Modern Playability

The Martin 000-17 features the popular Auditorium body style, known for its rich low end and balanced, detailed notes. The body, crafted from a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, ensures a warm and dynamic tone. The neck, with its modified low oval profile and High Performance Taper, joins the body at the 14th fret, providing a scale length just over 24.5 inches. This design offers comfort and ease of playability, catering to modern players' demands.

Sonically Rich Wood Combination

The combination of mahogany, spruce, and rosewood in the 000-17 delivers exceptional tonal quality. The solid spruce top provides a great stiffness-to-weight ratio, maximizing volume and power. The mahogany back and sides ensure an even tone across the frequency range, adding warmth and richness. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge further contribute to the guitar's harmonic depth and clarity.

Streamlined Appearance

The 000-17's straightforward and vintage-inspired appearance is sure to impress. With minimal fretboard inlays, ivoroid binding, and a simple pickguard, this guitar evokes the look of a cherished pre-war era instrument. The Whiskey Sunset satin finish not only enhances the guitar's aesthetic appeal but also allows the wood to breathe and resonate naturally, enriching the overall tone.
