1928 Martin 5-17T
Completely original, but for new bridge pins; and in excellent condition but for a tiny 1" short repaired top crack and a few cleanly glued back braces, this 5-17T doesn't leave us wanting for much. Original Grover tuning machines work well, original bar frets play cleanly, and the guitars' neck angle allows for an easy playing low set-up. There is strum-wear on the top, but the rest of the instrument's finish is in particularly good shape.
U-shaped neck carve with a nut width of 1-1/4", scale of 22.5" and a spread of 1-3/8" at the saddle. Solid mahogany unbound body, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, ebony nut, original ivory saddle.
With original chipboard case, and some song lyrics from the mid 1960's.
