C. F. Martin & Co / 00-17 / 1935 / Guitar
|
What a great guitar … this is an original Martin from the “Pre-War” period – model 00-17. Completely made of wonderful mahogany.
The Martin Pre-War guitars are legendary among steel string guitars. At that time Martin guitars were still built in limited numbers. For each instrument selected high-quality materials were used and each instrument was tuned and optimized at that time individually (this stopped in the 40’s and 50’s).
This guitar sounds so wonderfully bluesy and would be a wonderful instrument for a Jazz/Blues guitarist. It has a great quality sound and produces a fabulous mature vintage tone with sweet highs clear mids and a fine bass. It is wonderfully balanced in sound and absolutely fun to play.
The condition of this guitar is a really nice. The bridge has been reglued, one tuner replaced and the neck reset. It plays great with a low action!
It comes with a newer case.
