This beautiful Martin 000-17e in Black Smoke finish arrived to the shop used in overall great playing shape. Some light signs of wear can be seen across the satin finish, including some light pick scratch and some shine to the satin finish. Overall very subtle cosmetic wear that only adds to the broken in look and feel of these satin Martins.
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. The amazing Fishman Matrix VT Electronics come factory installed and function just as they should. A Martin softshell case is included.
