Often known as the Martin model to help them bridge the gap between the 19th century idea of gut string guitars being the norm and these new fangled steel strings of the 20th century, the 2-17 has its place in history. Nearing 100 years old, this old gal is in surprisingly good shape. Besides the typical neck set and a few repaired back/side cracks, this guitar is in great condition with nice saddle height and a surprisingly large sound for such a small guitar. All mahogany construction Martin? Yes please! Serial #49414, comes with the original case.
