17 Series Martin
I've become enchanted by the 00-17 guitar based on looks and specs. I think it would be nice for me because it's got a short scale and different woods and it's smaller than my HD28, but it has the same nut width and MLO neck. And I think it looks good in black.
Does anyone here have one or has anyone played one? I haven't seen much about the 17 series in the forum. I want to play one when I go to Florida in March. Hopefully MFG will have one.

I picked up a 00-17S 12 fret in black smoke. It is what it is but I think at it's price point it's a fun little guitar. It's certainly not anything close to the vintage 17's but I actually like it quite a lot. Try one for yourself and see what you think? I bet Jon will have some variation of it in stock...

The one I played had a funky blusey-sound. The sound was nice but not for my playing. I would certainly suggest playing one prior to purchasing as it has a unique sound. However, there have been several threads on them herein from folks who have purchased them. Search feature will reveal them.

I tried one but it didn't have the sound I was looking for. I think bluesy is a correct description.
