Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Made for left-handed players, the 000-17 combines a 000 14-fret body with solid mahogany on the top, back, and sides. The satin finish and Golden Era scalloped Sitka spruce X-bracing support its warm, woody character, focused midrange, clear top-end detail, sustain, and dynamic range. Its 24.9-inch scale pairs with a satin select-hardwood neck in Martin’s GE Modified Low Oval profile and High-Performance taper, giving fingerstyle passages and chord work a relaxed playing feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle work that benefits from the guitar’s balanced response and clear high-end detail.
- Strumming parts where a compact 000 body and pronounced midrange suit the arrangement.
- Left-handed players wanting an all-mahogany acoustic for practice, recording, or performance.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, as this model is built in a left-handed orientation.
