DISC Martin 00-17S Acoustic Guitar, Whiskey Sunset Overview
The Martin 00-17S Whiskey Sunset is a versatile, sophisticated acoustic guitar. Taking inspiration from the original 'Style 17' guitars of the early 1900s, the 00-17S produces an array of interesting, developed tones. The 00 grand concert size provides the parlor's fingerpicking clarity whilst the slightly larger body gives a full low end. The Martin 00-17S is a perfect guitar for concerts and studio settings alike.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionComfort and great sound are at the core of the Martin 00-17S. As a grand concert sized guitar it excels at producing a low end punch, but the top half of the 00-17S' body replicates a parlor size to emphasise high notes. The exotic Guatemalan Rosewood bridge and fingerboard bring longer sustain and a percussive brightness from the strings. The 00-17S benefits from a modified low oval neck and Performing Artist taper, making it easy to play - comfortable as well as rewarding. The Whiskey Sunset finish gives a touch of class and vintage aesthetics for a truly timeless guitar.
