Martin 000-17
This guitar was made for old hands. Sweetwater installed light strings and did setup. I appreciate that the guitar is very light and lively. The bass clarity is a surprise and appreciated. I own and have played many guitars over the years and some you just seem to understand each other and this is the case for my experience with this Martin. This guitar makes me smile.
Better than expected
First a thank you to Jacob Terhune, I hope I spelled that right, for his excellent technical and customer service. His follow up, assisted by Sean, is what makes a purchasing experience keep customers. Sweetwater management knows what they are doing. I just received my Whiskey Sunset Burst 000-17. I am a burst guy and did think the yellow was too bright in the photo but okay. The… read more guitar I received was less yellow and more of a tobacco yellow and it is beautiful. This IS the color I love and it goes great with the sides, back, and neck. The satin, I think that is the term, rather than gloss, works. The tuning machines look very cool. Visually it hit all my wants. After the look, you pick up the guitar and it is light... So light it was a bit off putting. The build quality is, as expected from Martin, top notch. I found nothing to complain about....case is solidly made so the guitar will be protected. The guitar showed up in tune, action was great, and I wish I could play the guitar at a level it deserves. I am completely happy with the guitar and purchase over around.
Jacob!
I would never have gotten this wonderful instrument without Jacob Terhune's patient help and Sweetwater's customer satisfaction standards. That's why I and my family are return customers. Cheers, Jake!
Stacked sound!
Reluctance quickly turned to jubilance, upon taking out my (fastidiously packed) throwback beauty. I'm all about hearing EVERYTHING a note has to offer, and my new Marty stacks the complete overtone series as it naturally lurks within an ideally-voiced instrument, on every note, seemingly boosting even more on primary harmonics and open strings. It's a gorgeous beastie in looks,… read more sound, ease of playing, and creativity. Very picky and very happy I am!
Great guitar!
I bought this guitar a few months ago- very lightweight, easy to play (strumming or fingerpicking) and great tone! Love the vintage look of the spruce top.
