The Martin 00L-16E Black Smoke brings a striking smoky-black gloss top to a compact, sloped-shoulder 00 body. A solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides give it a warm, intimate voice with punchy mids and a controlled low end, and the 24.9" short scale makes it ideal for fingerstyle and songwriting. Built-in L.R. Baggs Element electronics have it ready for the stage or studio. Available at Bros Guitars, an authorized Martin dealer on the Upper East Side of New York City.
