1951 Martin 00-17 Guitar
(Serial No. 121038) Excellent condition. Big volume from this guitar, very clear tone. All mahogany body including the top gives these guitars a warm rich sound perfect for blues and fingerstyle. Has the original ebony 1 11/16 inch nut. Peghead overlay, bridge and and fingerboard are Brazilian rosewood with a gold Martin script logo in the peghead. Nice easy action as the neck was just reset by luthier Richie Dotson, the frets dressed and the guitar was set up beautifully. Shows some minor player wear with a few nicks, dings and pickwear,especially around the endpin. No cracks which is unusual for a mahogany guitar over 60 years old. No repairs evident. Here is a short video clip of this instrument played by Richie. Comes with a newer hard shell case.
