Very Good Condition: This C.F. Martin 00-17 was manufactured in 1949 and shows signs of being well played over 75 years. There was a pickup installed in the 60s and an input jack with a large metal mounting plate was added. This has been removed and the hole patched. The tuning machines are not original. The top has some visible movement and there is enough heel swell to justify a neck reset but currently the set-up is perfect and has room to come down a bit more if you wanted. The bridge and saddle are original but the saddle is very low. The fretboard and the frets are original and in excellent shape. Overall this guitar plays excellent and sounds amazing. It has a crisp, bright voice that projects a lot of volume. There are various marks and small scratches on the body that are typical for an instrument of this age but no cracks. The pickguard is original. A chipboard case is included.
