Colin Meloy's Martin 000-17SM

"This was my main stage guitar between ’05 and ’07 or ‘08. It was bought in ’05 as a replacement for the 17S that was stolen during the gear theft. I probably wrote a lot of stuff from The Crane Wife on it. You can see me playing it on the recent Live At The 9:30 Club video. Once I’d gravitated away from it, it served as a second guitar for The Hazards of Love tour."
