OUR THOUGHTS:
This thing is an absolute cannon, seriously! One of the loudest acoustics that's come through the shop in recent memory. It's like a muscle car - the more you lay into it, it just asks for more! If you like big, bold mahogany - this thing's just what the doctor ordered. Absolute workhorse.
From Martin's site:
The DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset Dreadnought slope-shoulder model boasts a rich, warm sunburst finish that will delight any player with its aesthetic beauty. It is skillfully crafted from a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides with antique white binding. It features a modified low oval neck with a high-performance taper for added comfort and includes a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, scalloped bracing, and an old-style script logo on the headstock. The DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset produces beautiful, dynamic tones that will please the most discerning musician.
Due to material availability the DSS-17 Whiskey Sunset is designed with either a tortoise pattern or black pickguard. Selection may vary.
