NEW ARRIVAL This is a great example of what Martin can do with a Custom build guitar. Other than 1 example built in 1951, the 17 series guitars were never available in a 000 size, and it’s interesting to hear how the larger body size responds with an all Mahogany body - it’s a fuller, deeper, richer sound. Also a gloss finish makes it really distinctive, particularly with the black and white body binding. There are classy touches such as an Ebony nut and black tusq saddle, keeping the retro vibe strong, with the Ebony tuner buttons bringing a modern touch. Even the silver Martin headstock logo makes the guitar stand out from the rest, a really cool touch. Adding to the collectability of this guitar, the label has been signed by C.F Martin IV. According to the paperwork only 7 guitars were brought into the UK, making this a real rarity. The guitar’s in excellent condition, looks. sounds and plays great, a definite future classic. It comes in it’s original Martin embossed hard case.
