The Martin 000-17E Black Smoke is a striking blend of vintage soul, understated elegance, and modern playability. Wrapped in a moody Black Smoke aesthetic, this 000-17E captures the timeless character of a classic Martin while introducing a bold visual personality that feels both refined and contemporary. From its satin black finish to its subtle antique white binding and ivoroid pickguard, every detail evokes the spirit of a well-loved heirloom reborn for today’s player.
Built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the 000-17E delivers the warm, woody resonance that has defined Martin acoustics for generations. The scalloped spruce X-bracing allows the guitar to breathe with exceptional responsiveness, producing a voice that is open, articulate, and beautifully balanced. Its smaller 000 body shape offers remarkable clarity and intimacy, making it equally suited for fingerstyle nuance, expressive songwriting, and dynamic strumming.
The satin finish enhances both the guitar’s visual character and tonal openness, allowing the woods to resonate freely with a natural, organic feel. The Black Smoke color treatment gives the instrument a smoky, vintage-inspired depth that stands apart from traditional acoustic finishes while retaining unmistakable Martin authenticity.
The modified low oval neck with High-Performance taper creates an effortlessly comfortable playing experience. Combined with the 24.9-inch scale length and smooth rosewood fingerboard, the guitar feels relaxed, fast, and inviting in the hands. Mother-of-pearl 1955 Style 18 inlays add a touch of timeless elegance, while the ebony headplate with the Script Authentic 1933 overlay logo reinforces the guitar’s heritage-inspired identity.
Tonally, the 000-17E offers remarkable warmth and balance with a focused midrange that records beautifully and sits naturally in any mix. Chords bloom with rich harmonic texture, while single-note lines retain exceptional clarity and detail. Whether played acoustically in an intimate room or amplified on stage, the guitar responds with sensitivity, character, and unmistakable Martin depth.
Every component reflects Martin’s dedication to craftsmanship and reliability. The rosewood bridge with compensated White Tusq saddle ensures excellent intonation and resonance, while aged nickel tuners provide dependable tuning stability with vintage-inspired charm. At only 3 lbs 14 oz, the 000-17E feels incredibly light and resonant, encouraging hours of comfortable playing and creative exploration.
The Martin 000-17E Black Smoke is more than an acoustic-electric guitar. It is an instrument filled with atmosphere, character, and timeless musicality, built for players who appreciate vintage-inspired tone, effortless comfort, and a bold aesthetic that stands beautifully apart from the ordinary.
