The 1930 Martin 0-17 is a small-bodied, all-mahogany acoustic guitar that exemplifies the minimalist elegance and warm, balanced tone of early Depression-era Martins. With its 12-fret neck, slotted headstock, and lightweight construction, the 0-17 delivers a dry, woody voice with exceptional clarity—perfect for fingerstyle and light flatpicking. Its understated aesthetic, featuring no binding and simple appointments, highlights Martin’s focus on tone and craftsmanship during a time of economic hardship. This example has undergone several key repairs to ensure its playability for years to come. For the full repair history, check out the Specs tab. Includes the original chipboard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
