DISC Martin 000-17, Black Smoke

Full Description

Comfort and great sound are at the core of the Martin 000-17. As an auditorium sized guitar it excels at producing balance between a full low end and clear highs. The exotic Guatemalan Rosewood has a long sustain and bright, percussive sound for both strumming and picking styles. The 000-17 benefits from a modified low oval neck and Performing Artist taper, making it easy to play - comfortable as well as rewarding. The Black Smoke finish gives a touch of class and vintage aesthetics for a truly timeless guitar.
