{"product_id":"martin-000-17-lefty-5418","title":"Martin 000-17 Lefty","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew for 2025 is a left-handed model we’ve been hoping for for the past 25 years. The lefty 000-17 is finally here, and it’s as exciting as we were anticipating. The 000-17 is a model that has never existed as part of the company’s standard series until now. Imagine an unbound 000-18 with a mahogany top and satin finish and you’ve got it figured out. It’s quite different from the company’s lefty 000-15m in that the 17 has a hand-fit dovetailed neck joint, Golden Era scalloped and forward shifted X bracing, a 24.9” scale, 1-3\/4” nut width, and ebony fretboard and bridge. It’s a lot more guitar, and the differences are immediately apparent. We suspect that this model will go on to become one of the company’s best-selling guitars. It sounds incredible, it’s attractive and well made, its playability is top-notch, it’s left-handed, and the price-point is positioned perfectly at the base of the standard series price list.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar’s neck features a GE-Modified low oval carve for a comfortably rounded feel, an angle-bottomed lefty nut, old-style logo, and open geared tuners. String spread at the saddle is 2-5\/32”. The lefty-compensated saddle, nut, and pins are bone, and the bevelled-edge pickguard is cut from tortoise celluloid and polished to a high gloss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe all-mahogany construction with forward-shifted scalloped left-handed bracing offers a dry, woody and open tone with a touch of sparkle up top and beautifully supported mid-range. Flatpickers and fingerstylists alike will love what the new left-handed Martin 000-17 has to offer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e**USD Price includes Shopify fees\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C.F.
