The 000-17E Black Smoke blends vintage style with a balanced tone that’s full of character. 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.
Skillfully crafted from a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this guitar produces beautiful dynamic tones that will please the most discerning musician. 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.
This guitar is loaded with a Fishman pickup/preamp, so it's ready for live performance.
Whether you're writing, recording, or playing live, the 000-17E Black Smoke delivers vintage inspiration with every note. A softshell case is included.
