Martin 0-17 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1934), made in Nazareth, PA, natural lacquer finish, mahogany body and neck, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very attractive little mahogany Martin from early 1934. During the depression, these inexpensive (for a Martin!) guitars sold for thirty dollars, still a considerable sum for the average player. This model no doubt helped Martin stay afloat in the lean years of the early 30's! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'34 was the peak production year for the 0-17 and this guitar would be one of the earliest 14-fret examples built, as the model was changed from a 12-fret design just in time for the 1934 catalog. The rosewood fingerboard still features the traditional bar frets along with the original ebony nut. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA simple but beautiful sounding pre-war Martin, especially fine for fingerpicking.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 1\/2 in. (97.8 cm.), 13 1\/2 in. (34.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1\/4 in. (10.8 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 7\/8 in. (632 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral finish wear overall, but no major cracks or repairs; all original except for modern reproduction Waverly \"Butter Bean\" tuners. Recent neck set by our shop. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuitar plays very well and is full sounding. Very Good + Condition.","brand":"C. F.
