Where are the DSS-17s?
There has been a lot of buzz lately on the Taylor GPs. And I've been able to test drive them all over the place. My interest in Martin centers on the DSS-17. I've seen videos of them all over the internet. But none in the flesh. Our local Martin (and big Taylor dealer), hasn't even heard of DSS-17, much less seen one.
Is the DSS-17 in general circulation yet?

I just got a call and email today from Sweetwater, advising me they had more in stock.

The first orders of the DSS-17's are all sold. Rumor has them available around July or August. Call Maury at Maury's Music. He's close to the Martin factory adn gets good info, and he will sell you one for around $12+-.00
But this isn't a guitar to buy without trying one. It's loud and uncouth. It's like the guy in ''Friends in Low Places''. It's different and not for the faint of heart!

Maury had one in my hands just 10 days after it was announced at NAMM. Great guitar. Raw, brash, light and LOUD. Ultimately that untamed tone didn’t mesh with my playing style. But the decision to sell it was tough. Fortunately it sold quickly on Reverb (3 days) to a guy who’s super excited to get it as his first Martin. I’m sure he’s gonna love it.

My local shop has one in black. It's a great sounding guitar.

Mine just arrived a couple hours ago via UPS thanks to Mr. Rev Roy ... I'm at work and the darn thing is sitting in my living room right now. I threatened a beat-down on anyone in the house that opened it up before I got home tonight
. Can't wait to try it!

Be careful when you open it. Make sure you lock up all your other guitars so they can't run away and hide! Next; comb your hair like Elvis, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride! Finally; get ready to have a great time this weekend. I hope you don't have any other plans!

Well... I just got home from work, made myself a cocktail and strummed a few chords on her for the first time.... all I can say is WOW. So responsive.. so dynamic. Softly strummed it’s quiet and beautiful, picked hard and it sings like no other guitar I’ve ever played. Exceeded my expectations. I will probably post the story of my guitar hunting adventure in the coming days, but for now ... I have a guitar to play

If you're anywhere near Russo's in Hamilton, NJ they've got one there. Bold & brassy!
