1958 Martin 00-17
Solid South American mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, no bindings or trimmings other than the ivoroid position markers, white plastic tuner buttons, bridge pins, and end pin, and C.F. Martin & Co. headstock logo. Completely original but for a newer bone saddle.
No top or back repairs of any kind, and all braces are tightly glued. There is a cleanly repaired side crack on the upper bass side, and the neck's wood has a lengthwise crack below the fingerboard from the nut to the 2nd fret, bass side. Both of these cracks were repaired cleanly and strongly in our shop and pose little further concern. The bridge is shaved slightly, which allows the guitar to play beautifully without ever having had a neck reset. The guitar's action is set at 5 to 7 64ths.
With chipboard case
