Offered again after a long hiatus, the D-17 is an all mahogany dreadnought with a slight gloss finish that looks amazing on or offstage. This model is perfect for someone looking for loud projection with a midrange punch.
"The Martin D-17 is a bold new offering in the refreshed Standard Series, combining vintage-inspired appointments with modern refinements for players seeking rich sounds and enhanced playability. This 14-fret Dreadnought model is handcrafted with a satin-finished solid mahogany body, delivering a warm and woody tone. The Sitka spruce Golden Era (GE) top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, offers a more vintage, breathy tone, while an ebony GE modern belly bridge with smoother corners enhances comfort and resonance. Playability is a priority with the D-17, featuring a satin-finished select hardwood neck, GE modified low oval profile that’s optimized for vintage appeal, and thinner ebony fingerboard with a gently beveled edge. The refined string spacing is ideal for players who want a comfortable, effortless feel. Vintage-inspired details such as a sleeker heel and nickel open gear tuners give the guitar a timeless, elegant look. Whether you’re strumming big chords or picking intricate tunes, the D-17 delivers powerful, dynamic sound with a classic, vintage vibe that's anything but standard."
