Martin 00-17 1931 Authentic: Acoustic Centre

[@h.i.5333]

This may be the finest acoustic guitar I’ve ever heard.✌️

Sounds wonderful. But sounds like there is some processing done rather than straight dry take. I could be wrong....but seems like it.

[@2musiclover534]

Of all the 00-17A tone on youtube, this is my favorite. The Dophin Guitar's unit is the next best. At first, I thought that the tone here was processed as I could not envision a little 00 with this much depth in the bass/mids. But after owning one for a while and really breaking it in, and detuning 1/2 step for a slightly lower tension with .12 to .54 Martin Retro (monel) strings, my units really does sound very very similar to this video. It is an absolutely amazing instrument. The tone is glowingly beautiful. The treble strings are fat and full and the wound string keeps up. And there's zero sense of boxiness that I often find in small bodied guitars. Finally a caveat - I wonder if the player has much nails. I play mine with natural fingernail and gets this tone so someone who play only with flesh may find it too warm...perhaps.

What a beautiful sounding guitar I’m 68 years old now and look at my Martin 0-17 1937 guitar in my photo

[@peterabbey1539]

Wow! Beautiful.

[@HaltnHustle]

12 fret full body mahogany’s especially with a slotted headstock is just the best an acoustic gets in my opinion 🤘🏻

I am totally floored by this guitar. It's the most beautiful sounding guitar I've ever heard.

[@jameschan7764]

I agree. Yet, no other KZbin videos I’ve watched on this guitar managed to make it sound so sweet.

[@HaltnHustle]

James Chan it’s the way they set up the microphone I think, when played in person, this guitar is super special.

[@johntdoherty7469]

What mic did you use for this

[@startreker8591]

Is this good for aggressive strumming too

[@dallon-us]

Probably not. 000 guitars are better for that. And dreads obviously

[@Jam-m7m]

Yes it is, look at my picture I’m have one

[@Baci302]

It would be very helpful to potential buyers to hear you play this guitar in standard tuning is well.

[@3684541]

It is in standard tuning he's just doing some nice voicings in E

[@Baci302]

@@3684541 Ah, you are correct, sir.
