 MARTIN | | ACOUSTIC: 17 SERIES | | The 17 Series is very similar to the all mahogany or sapele 15 Series, except for all gloss finish bodies, hybrid scalloped bracing, body bindings, and gold hardware. The 17 Series was introduced in 2000 - three years after the introduction of the 15 Series - and was produced until 2004. Fewer models were offered in the 17 Series and with the high price points of these guitars, Martin realized that customers would rather buy a traditional 16 Series guitar rather than a fancy all mahogany 17 Series. | | D-17 | | - dreadnought body style, solid mahogany or solid sapele (2003-present) top, back, and sides, tortoiseshell binding with Style 18 inlays, Style 18 black fiber back purfling, round soundhole with Style 17 rosette, mahogany neck, 14/20-fret black Micarta fingerboard with Style 28 dot inlays, black Micarta headstock overlay with raised gold foil logo, three-per-side gold tuners with small buttons, black Micarta bridge, tortoise color pickguard, available in Natural Gloss finish, 25.4 in. scale, mfg. summer 2000-04. |
