C.F. Martin 000-17 Standard (s/n: 3086286)! Guitar comes with Martin Hardshell case!
The Martin 000-17 brings together the warmth and intimacy of an all-mahogany acoustic with the refined construction and effortless playability expected from Martin’s Standard Series. Understated in appearance yet remarkably expressive in the hands, this is a guitar built for players who appreciate woody tone, exceptional responsiveness, and timeless Martin character.
Built around Martin’s comfortable 000 14-fret body, the 000-17 features a solid mahogany top, back, and sides finished in a beautifully restrained Dark Mahogany satin. Mahogany gives this guitar a warm, focused voice with excellent note definition, strong fundamental response, and a natural balance that makes it equally compelling for fingerstyle playing, songwriting, recording, or relaxed accompaniment.
Where the 000-17 becomes particularly special is beneath the surface. Martin incorporates a traditional dovetail neck joint along with 1/4" Golden Era scalloped spruce X-bracing, bringing vintage-inspired construction principles into a wonderfully playable modern instrument. The result is a lively, open response that reacts beautifully to a player's touch while maintaining the dry, woody character that makes an all-mahogany Martin so distinctive.
The 24.9" short scale provides a slightly softer string feel, while Martin's GE Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper, 1 3/4" bone nut, and ebony fingerboard create a comfortable playing experience from first position through the upper register. An ebony GE Modern Belly bridge, compensated bone saddle, nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs, faux tortoise pickguard, and vintage-inspired diamond-and-square fingerboard inlays complete an instrument that feels purposefully traditional without feeling dated.
At Northeast Music Center, we believe guitars like the Martin 000-17 deserve to be experienced rather than simply viewed as another model number. Its combination of compact dimensions, short-scale comfort, all-mahogany warmth, and Golden Era-inspired construction gives it a personality all its own.
For players searching for an intimate and highly responsive Martin—or for an inspiring companion for writing, recording, and everyday playing—the 000-17 deserves serious consideration. Northeast Music Center is proud to offer Martin guitars to players who value the history, craftsmanship, and individual personality behind these remarkable instruments.
When you choose your next Martin from Northeast Music Center, you're buying from a shop that understands what makes a great acoustic guitar more than a collection of specifications. We're here to help you find the Martin that speaks to you.
