The Martin 00017 has vintage look with a modern feel and comes in two different finishes, a satin whiskey sunset and satin black smoke. Each guitar is made up of a spruce top, mahogany back and sides with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The combination of these woods gives the guitar a bright yet warm defined sound with an even balance across both treble and bass. The performing artist neck fits nicely in the hand, making the guitar nice and easy to play. Even with a smaller body size, it still has a big enough sound for the strummers but its real voice is through more of fingerstyle playing. Includes Martin Hardcase.
