Martin D-17M (2013)

Description

Martin's 17 series has long been a bit of a catch-all line for the Nazareth manufacturer, with the constituent models sometimes changing radically from year to year. Between 2013 and 2015, one of those models was the D-17M, a great, all solid wood dreadnaught that we wish was still available new. This one, from 2013, shows off why these guitars were so highly thought of while they were still in production. Like its older brother, the D-18, the D-17M features a spruce top and a mahogany back, sides, and neck, for a big, vibrant sound that meshes nicely with lots of different styles of play and genres of music. It also features a picturesque, amber gloss finish on the top for a little bit of extra visual pop.

While there is an average to above average amount of playing wear on this guitar, including a number of scuffs and picking marks on the top, it has always been diligently humidified and boasts an excellent set up. Its owner also had a K&K Pure Mini passive piezo pickup installed as an aftermarket addition, meaning this guitar is gig-ready. We consider it to be in very good condition. Included in the price is the original hard-shell case.
