The Martin DSS-17 is a round-shouldered dreadnought that is incredibly comfortable to play and produces a beautiful clean tone, thanks to its solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This classic combination of tonewoods is known for producing a rich, varied tone across the guitar's entire tonal range. The DSS-17 also features scalloped X-bracing in spruce, further enhancing the tone and the top's ability to resonate. In addition, the DSS-17 is built with a neck made from select hardwood and a rosewood fretboard, giving the guitar excellent response, playability, and feel.Throughout its history, C.F. Martin has used spruce and mahogany to create the enchanting tone for which Martin guitars are known—and it is this combination of tonewoods around which the DSS-17 is built. The mahogany ensures a clear, organic sound, while the spruce amplifies the sound and adds warmth and beautiful overtones.
The full tone and high volume of the DSS-17 also come from the popular dreadnought body shape. This body provides excellent projection and focus, allowing the DSS-17 to sit well in an ensemble. The dreadnought body also provides a well-balanced tone, making the DSS-17 an excellent choice for the studio.
The C.F. Martin DSS-17 features Martin's incredibly playable Modified Low Oval neck profile, which has enough mass to feel comfortable in the hand while still allowing you to move quickly up and down the fretboard. The PLEK-treated frets and uniform rosewood fretboard ensure a playing experience that only a few guitars can offer.
