The Martin DSS-17 acoustic guitar is a slope shoulder dreadnought that is incredibly comfortable to play! It produces a beautifully pure tone from its solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This is a classic tonewood pairing known for rich, varied tone across the ranges.
The DSS-17 also features Sitka spruce scalloped X-bracing for incredible tonal support and durability. In addition, a select hardwood neck with rosewood fingerboard offers wonderful response, playability, and feel.
