Martin 000-17 (Black Smoke) Overview
The Martin 000-17 is a retro auditorium model with a sweet sound and great vintage looks. The combination of solid Sitka spruce for the top and solid mahogany for the back and sides gives a warm tone with pronounced highs full of rich harmonics and suits players of all styles. The neck has a Guatemalan rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays and a a modified low oval neck with a Performing Artist taper, which is great for intricate lead work. We think that the Whiskey Sunset and Black Smoke finishes look great, this is a guitar that looks and good as it sounds and would be a fantastic addition to any player's arsenal.
