By combining the high volume and projection of a dreadnought with the warm tone of mahogany, Martin has created a guitar that adds a new tonal color to the Standard series. Connoisseurs will know that all-mahogany guitars are nothing new from Martin; they have been a staple of Martin’s lineup since World War II and are highly prized for their warmer, more focused, and slightly more compressed tone.The D-17 matches its siblings in the Standard series, having been updated with the same design elements that have enhanced the other guitars in the series. This means that the D-17’s solid mahogany top is supported by Golden Era Forward-Shifted X-bracing, which maximizes responsiveness and provides a more resonant playing experience. Its mahogany sides and back ensure a warm, punchy, and bass-rich tone that cuts through both bluegrass ensembles and rock, country, or pop mixes. Its hardwood neck is shaped with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile and features a 1.75″ nut width, providing fast, comfortable playability for high-speed flatpickers, fingerstyle players, and strummers alike.
Premium Martin guitars such as the D-17 are fret-dressed to achieve more even playability. Fret Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and machines the frets, ensuring that every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.
Looking at Martin’s history in guitar design and construction, it is clear that C. F. Martin’s iconic models form the backbone of the American guitar industry. With this in mind, Martin presents the updated Standard series: a range of guitars dedicated to reviving both the appearance and tone of Martin’s Golden Era vintage guitars while incorporating a sophisticated array of modern enhancements. The result is a comprehensive update of Martin’s most coveted models, including remarkably responsive Golden Era bracing, thinner fingerboards with rounded edges, a slim vintage heel, and Golden Era bridges equipped with bone saddles.
With the Standard series, Martin has managed to preserve the essence of what has made its guitars legendary while adding advanced technology and precision to meet the needs of modern musicians. This makes the Standard series a perfect combination of Martin’s historical heritage and contemporary demands for playability and tone, further cementing Martin’s position as one of the most influential names in acoustic guitars.
