Description
This slope-shouldered dreadnought guitar features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, producing a beautifully balanced tone with crisp trebles, a robust midrange, and complex bass. The modified low oval neck and high-performance taper provide exceptional comfort and playability. The DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset's vintage-inspired whiskey sunset sunburst finish gives it a distinctive appearance sure to turn heads.
Vintage-Inspired Sunburst Finish
The DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset showcases a rich, warm sunburst finish reminiscent of guitars from the 1930s and 1940s. Antique white binding provides an elegant contrast against the whiskey sunset burst. A faux tortoise pickguard adds to the vintage-inspired esthetic. The old-style script logo on the headstock completes the retro look.
Solid Tonewood Construction
A solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides gives the DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset a balanced, resonant tone with crisp highs, a punchy midrange, and complex low end. The modified low oval neck and rosewood fingerboard facilitate smooth playability and response. Scalloped X-bracing provides structural support while allowing the top to vibrate freely.
Exceptional Playability
The DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset's modified low oval neck profile and high-performance taper provide exceptional comfort and playability. The rosewood bridge and fingerboard offer a smooth surface for both strumming and intricate fingerpicking. A hand-rubbed finish gives the neck a silky feel, allowing your hand to glide easily across the fretboard.
Martin Quality
Handcrafted by C. . Martin & Co. the DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset is built from premium, hand-selected tonewoods using time-honored techniques passed down through generations of skilled luthiers. As with all Martin guitars, the DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset undergoes a rigorous quality control process to ensure it meets their high standards for tone, playability, and esthetics before leaving the factory.
