Martin D-17 Standard Series Acoustic Guitar, All-Mahogany, Natural w/Hardshell Case
As one of their premier series, the Martin Standard Series welcomes the Martin D-17 into its ranks. Checking plenty of boxes and making its case as a candidate for your next great Martin, the D-17 is a hand-crafted acoustic to celebrate the Martin sound time after time.
The D-17 is a dreadnought-sized acoustic guitar assembled in pursuit of great playability and great tonality. These priorities come to light by starting out simply with a body featuring solid mahogany top, back, and sides. Mahogany, one of Martin's standby picks for tonewoods, delivers on Martin's classic warm and woody tones for which they are famous. This body construction is complemented by the D-17's Golden Era (GE) scalloped Sitka spruce bracing that balances projection, enriches the guitar's tone, and summons an impressive acoustic voice. Found previously on Martin's Modern Deluxe Series, this bracing pattern is a player-forward feature to inspire.
From this point, the D-17 Standard Series drops in a GE Modified Low Oval neck through traditional compound dovetail joint construction. As a shape, Martin uses this neck to prioritize speed and playability for players looking to play loudly and proudly. This neck meets up with an ebony fingerboard and a satin finish that makes for a smooth texture across the palm and a comfortable fretting experience across the fingers. GE Diamond and Square Short fingerboard inlays punctuate the ebony for an impressive visual element while an ebony bridge and a set of nickel open gear tuning machines ground strings at each side of the scale stably for extended playing sessions.
Entering the fray of Martin's Standard Series acoustics, the D-17 is a prime pick for your first Martin or your fortieth.
