1928 Martin 2-17
SOLD It’s rare to find a Martin guitar from the 20’s, let alone one that plays so well. The 2-17 is an all Mahogany guitar, sized somewhere between a parlour and an 0. It feels as light as a feather, yet the volume it produces is quite surprising. The 12 fret join gives greater resonance, making it a really versatile instrument. Clearly at home with fingerstyle and flat picking, it even strums well. As a 96 year old guitar, you might be nervous to play it live, but it feels strong enough to go for another 96. The neck feels very comfortable with a gentle V profile, and really is a fingerpicker’s dream. It has a few repairs, and an overspray, all professionally done. The guitar comes in it’s original hard case complete with it’s super rare cotton slip case.
