Martin Standard Series 0-17 Acoustic Guitar

Small in stature but full of character, the Martin Standard Series 0-17 is an all-mahogany Concert-sized acoustic that delivers a warm, woody voice with a wonderfully intimate feel. As Martin’s smallest full-size body, the 0 shape offers exceptional comfort while still projecting clear trebles and punchy mids that are perfect for fingerstyle, songwriting and studio work. With a short 24.9" scale, Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck and GE-inspired scalloped X-bracing, it blends vintage-inspired feel with modern responsiveness in a beautifully understated satin package.

If you have been craving that classic all-mahogany tone in a compact, highly playable format, the 0-17 brings it right into your hands. The combination of satin-finished mahogany, ebony fingerboard and bridge, abalone inlays and nickel open-gear tuners gives it a timeless, workhorse aesthetic, while the traditional dovetail neck joint and carefully voiced bracing ensure a lively, expressive response under the fingers.

All-Mahogany Concert Body

The 0-17 pairs a mahogany top with mahogany back and sides in Martin’s 0 14-fret body size, creating a focused, woody sound with strong midrange presence and a sweet, rounded top end. This all-mahogany recipe is ideal for fingerstyle and vocal accompaniment, giving you a tone that sits beautifully in a mix without overpowering other instruments.

Short Scale, Vintage-Inspired Neck

A 24.9" short scale length and Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile provide a relaxed, vintage-flavoured playing experience. The slightly slinkier string tension makes bends easier and extended sessions more comfortable, while the 1 3/4" nut width offers ample room for intricate chord voicings and precise fingerstyle work.

GE-Inspired Scalloped X-Bracing

Under the hood, Golden Era-inspired scalloped spruce X-bracing, as seen on Martin’s Modern Deluxe models, gives the 0-17 impressive responsiveness and projection for its size. The lighter, scalloped bracing allows the mahogany top to move more freely, translating your touch into a dynamic, articulate voice that responds beautifully to both a gentle fingerstyle approach and more assertive strumming.

Understated Vintage Aesthetic

A satin finish across the body and neck, faux tortoise pickguard, ebony bridge and fingerboard, Golden Era Diamonds & Squares Short inlays and nickel open-gear tuners all contribute to a classic, understated look. This tasteful styling lets the natural beauty of the dark mahogany top shine through, while the traditional dovetail neck joint anchors the guitar firmly in Martin’s heritage of craftsmanship.
