Product Description
The Martin D-17 offers players an all-solid-mahogany Dreadnaught acoustic guitar, which features the carefully thought-out modern refinements and playability in partnership with the vintage-inspired aesthetics and tone that’s found in Martin's acclaimed Standard Series.
Elegantly finished in Satin, the Martin D-17 feels natural under the arms and fingers and is a dream to play with a warm and resonant tone with woody overtones and articulate highs. The body features Martin's GE-scalloped forward shifted X bracing, meaning that the D-17 has a strong and robust structure that'll last a lifetime. Offering excellent stability, this bracing also allows the top to vibrate more freely for improved resonance.
Key Features
- All-Mahogany Body - The all-mahogany body construction offers a warm and woody tone with articulate highs and rich harmonic sustain.
- Golden Era Design - Featuring Martins Golden Era refinements the D-17 comes equipped with a modernised GE bridge, boasting smoother curves and subtler edges as well as Martins GE scalloped X bracing, giving the D-17 richly enhanced sustain and a robust structure .
- Classic Appointments – With its beautiful Satin finish, Nickel Open Gear tuners and Abalone Diamond and Square inlays the D-17 oozes class and looks as good as it sounds!
Classic Construction
The neck is formed from Select Hardwood, an incredibly stable choice that is less prone to warping in differing temperatures. Topped with an Ebony fretboard, this sleek and elegant-looking wood not only feels smooth under the fingers but also offers a clear upper mid-range sparkle that gives a reassuring bite to notes.
With a GE modified low oval neck profile, the D-17 Standard provides a comfortable position for your left hand to fret shapes without feeling fatigue. This new shape strikes the perfect balance between a vintage and modern feel.
With each guitar undergoing a thorough process via a cutting-edge PLEK machine, this amazing piece of technology accurately measures and dresses the frets for unparalleled consistency across the neck. This practically eliminates buzzing and enhances the playability of the guitar as a whole.
A real bone nut not only gives off that vintage Martin aesthetic but also improves sustain and is less likely to wear compared to synthetic alternatives. This instrument's open gear tuning machines also scream that old-school vibe, with the Faux Tortoise pickguard adding that extra touch of class.
