The Martin D-17 had solid mahogany or sapele top, side and 2-piece back. The D17 was a higher quality version of the budget D-15 and 16 series, with better quality wood and other features including Mortise/Tenon Neck Joint and D1 hybrid bracing.
The D-17 was made between 2000 and 2005: the current D17M model (circa 2014) has a dark stained spruce top (not mahogany like the original D-17).
