Martin 00L-17 (Black Smoke) Overview
The Martin 00L-17 is a stunning sloped shoulder model that echoes vintage Martins. The Whiskey Sunset and Black Smoke finishes look like something out of a 50's catalogue and we love the oversized dot inlays. Martin have given the 00L-17 a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides for an even tone that suits chordal and lead work in equal measure. The neck has a rosewood fingerboard and a modified low oval profile with Performing Artist taper for a modern playing feel. If you want to cross 21st century build quality with vintage styling, look no further than the Martin 00L-17.Call GAK now for product info, advice and the Best Prices - 01273 665400
