F. Martin \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e’s most understated and musical pre-war models. All-mahogany, lightly built and deeply expressive, the 0-17 has long been prized for its immediacy, warmth and directness. This particular instrument has been carefully restored with a clear respect for originality, materials and traditional methods, resulting in a guitar that feels alive, stable and inspiring to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003eThe restoration work has been extensive and thoughtfully executed. A full neck reset has been carried out, along with a bridge reglue and the fitting of a new bone saddle, glued in using hot hide glue as per original Martin construction. Multiple loose braces have been reglued, again using traditional techniques, restoring the structural integrity and responsiveness of the top. The neck has been straightened via heat treatment and received a light fret dress, ensuring comfortable playability while preserving original material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003eFurther work includes servicing the original tuners and securing the headstock bushings, shimming and recutting the original nut, and addressing a number of age-related issues to the body. These include gluing and cleating top centre seam separations and splits, repairing and cleating side splits, and correcting top side separations. All repairs have been carried out with care, aiming to stabilise the guitar long-term while keeping its voice intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1868\"\u003eThe result is a wonderful pre-war Martin that delivers exactly what these guitars are known for. Dry, woody fundamentals, quick response, and an intimate, vocal-like quality that suits fingerstyle, blues and light strumming beautifully. It’s a guitar that feels incredibly connected in the hands, with a natural compression and warmth that only decades of ageing can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1870\" data-end=\"2062\"\u003eA rare opportunity to acquire a sensitively restored 1932 Martin 0-17 that retains its vintage character while offering the confidence and playability expected of a properly sorted instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1870\" data-end=\"2062\"\u003eComes in OHSC which shows plenty of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1870\" data-end=\"2062\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003eModel: Martin 0-17\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2110\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eYear: 1932\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2127\" data-end=\"2156\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2175\"\u003eBody Size: 0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2195\"\u003eTop: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2226\"\u003eBack and Sides: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2231\" data-end=\"2247\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2252\" data-end=\"2272\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2277\" data-end=\"2292\"\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2331\"\u003eNut: Original, shimmed and recut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2336\" data-end=\"2378\"\u003eSaddle: Bone, hot hide glue installation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2383\" data-end=\"2411\"\u003eTuners: Original, serviced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"2459\"\u003eBracing: Original, reglued where required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2464\" data-end=\"2505\"\u003eFinish: Original nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2510\" data-end=\"2648\"\u003eRestoration Work: Neck reset, bridge reglue, brace regluing, seam and split repairs, side repairs, neck heat treatment, light fret dress\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"2829\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eCase: Hard shell case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839170437439,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G15994688","price":5497.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/26004-1.webp?v=1782095103","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/vintage-martin-0-17-usa-1932","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
