Martin 000-17E Black Smoke

A staff favorite, the 000-17E Black Smoke is a beautiful looking model with a black lacquer finish on open grain spruce/mahogany. It already sounds broken in and the electronics make it stage ready!

From Martin Guitar’s Website: "The 000-17E Black Smoke blends vintage style with a balanced tone that’s full of character. Built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it offers clear articulation with a touch of warmth—ideal for a wide range of playing styles. The satin black finish, antique white binding, and ivoroid pickguard give it a bold, old-school look that stands out. Scalloped X-bracing brings out dynamic response and tonal nuance, while the 24.9" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width provide a comfortable playing feel. The Modified Low Oval neck profile makes for easy fretting, and the East Indian rosewood fingerboard features 1955 Style 18 mother-of-pearl inlays for a classic touch. Aged nickel tuners and a modern straightline rosewood bridge round out the aesthetic. Whether you're writing, recording, or playing live, the 000-17E Black Smoke delivers vintage inspiration with every note. A softshell case is included, and optional electronics are available."
