Full Description
View Full DescriptionRobust tonal quality
The Martin 000-17 boasts a solid spruce top that is instrumental in delivering a broad dynamic range and superior tonal clarity. This choice of wood allows for a crisp articulation and a bright, clear sound that matures with age. The natural properties of spruce ensure that whether you are strumming hard or picking softly, the sound remains full and vibrant, making it an excellent choice for a variety of musical genres.
Enhanced sound projection
Featuring traditional scalloped X-bracing, the Martin 000-17 is engineered to project sound with an increased volume and tonal richness. This bracing pattern allows for a more responsive top, which not only enhances the overall volume but also enriches the harmonic content of the music being played. Musicians will appreciate the added volume when playing unamplified in larger spaces or in ensemble settings.
Warm, rich undertones
The back and sides of the guitar are crafted from mahogany, a wood known for its ability to produce warm, rich tones. Mahogany's density and rigidity impart a natural compression to the sound, lending it a punchier, more powerful quality. This characteristic is especially beneficial for recording artists and live performers alike, as it ensures the guitar's sound is balanced and smooth across all frequencies.
Optimal playability
The Martin 000-17 comes with a Plek'd setup, a precise computer-guided process that levels the frets and sets up the guitar to ideal playing specifications. This setup not only enhances the comfort of play but also ensures that the guitar can be played effortlessly, with lower action and without any fret buzz. Ideal for both novices and experienced players, this feature maximizes the guitar's playability, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable playing experience.
