2014 Martin D-17 M – Sunburst- OHSC on Sale

Description
Very good condition. Purchased in November 2014 from Mandolin Brothers just after Stan Jay passed. A wonderful man, who endured all my questions since I purchased my first Les Paul from him 35 years earlier. I didn’t walk in the shop that day to buy a guitar, but in homage to the man, yet I walked out with this wonderful instrument.
Â
It spent most its time in a stand in the study, as I’m an electric guitar player. Never gigged. But it sound too good for that lot in life. I believe Martin discontinued this model in 2016. The tone is so pleasing, strummed or finger picked.
Â
Early style 17 Martin models used spruce tops, as you see here. Back and side are mahogany. The classic combination that is so pleasing to our ears. 1 style non-scalloped braces, Tortoise color top binding, Mahogany neck. Inlay short pattern diamond & square.
