For Sale Or Trade: 00-17 ‘50 pending sale

[Huntere23]

Here’s a lovely sounding and playing 50‘ Martin 00-17. I am in need of a wider nut these days and hoping to fund a prewar Martin 0-17 or older Gibson with a 1 3/4 nut. I am mostly interested in selling but also open trades for vintage or modern acoustics with a wider nut than 1 11/16. Other than the slim neck this everything I would want in a vintage Martin tone wise.
I bought this from the grandson of the original owner. I had a professional luthier perform a couple of repairs and of course a set up so the playability and intonation are spot on.

Professional repairs and other information:
Neck reset
Glue and cleat the center seam and a small b string crack
Plane a small amount of material in fret board at the 14th fret to take out a small hump then reinstall and level the frets
Install a new bone saddle
Install a sound hole pickup (Fishman rare earth) — sounds amazing.
*all repairs where done using hot hide glue.
* original bridge, bridge plate, and ebony nut,
* original beige pins and saddle will be shipped in the compartment of the HSC.

$3500 shipped to the lower 48.

Thoughts on the finish — Most likely went back to Martin at some point in time where it received a light overspray. Non original tuners are vintage deluxe Klusons and work perfectly. Because of the light overspray this is a great value for awesome playing and sounding 50s 00-17. Really amazing resonance, punch, clarity and that natural reverb when lightly played.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if have any questions.
