Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Martin’s right-handed 000-17E combines a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides in a 000 non-cutaway format. Its Modified Low Oval neck and Performing Artist taper are described as easy to play, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge stand out against the satin Black Smoke finish. Fishman Matrix VT Enhance amplification and a soundhole-mounted preamp bring its acoustic setup into an amplified rig. A softshell case is included for carrying the guitar.
