We landed a treasure trove of vintage pieces which our repair folks have lovingly restored to peak playing condition—this Martin 0-17 was built in 1937 and is still ready for action! The 0 size is petite, but by no means quiet (the intervening decades having done some work on opening up the all-Mahogany body), and the setup is that of a brand new guitar.
Coming to you at a trim 3lbs 11oz, this 0-17 is a featherweight player that’s easy on the hands, and the finish on the neck is worn through on the cheeks for that old-pair-of-jeans feel. It also has a Barcus Berry bridge plate pickup that sounds great plugged straight in to an acoustic amp.
