This beautiful Martin 00-17 from 1933 is a real dream guitar - very balanced and with a warm and clear vintage tone!
It has the much sought-after scalloped bracing - which makes this guitar a sound cannon! ... one of those „holy grail“ acoustic guitars!
The pre-war Martin guitars are of course the most famous ... and this one is a typical example from this period. These guitars from the period shortly before and during the Second World War are very popular with collectors.
These guitars combine the best materials, sound-optimized construction and meticulous craftsmanship to create unique dream instruments. The number of guitars built by Martin was very small at the time, so that only very few „Pre War“ Martins are still for sale today.
This guitar is a very fine example of the timeless quality of Martin-built instruments. It has a warm and clear tone, a strong fundamental presence, an amazingly even string balance and the classic Martin focus. It is a wonderful fingerstyle guitar and a great choice for the recording studio.
The guitar has had a neck reset and the string action is low. The guitar plays very pleasantly. It has some repairs to the frame and a patch where a pickup system used to be installed. The finish, pickguard and bridge are not original. All work on this guitar has been done professionally and it is in absolutely good condition.
It comes with a newer case.
