Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
While the Black Smoke 000-17 might look like a perfect old blues machine, this guitar is capable of that and much much more. The classic combination of Sitka and Mahogany provides a dynamic platform for almost any approach.
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Martin and Co.
Skillfully crafted from a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides with antique white binding, a modified low oval neck with a Performing Artist taper, and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, this guitar produces beautiful dynamic tones that will please the most discerning musician.
