Martin 00-17 Mahogany Steel String Guitar, 1939 /*No Longer Available*

It’s not so common these days to see something like this pre-war Martin 00-17 Mahogany steel string, built during 1939. The moderate-sized 00 is one of Martin’s oldest body designs. It was launched in 1898, with the first 00-17 appearing in 1908 when three were built.
