The Martin 00L-17E Black Smoke with its compact Grand Concert body and its strong mids will especially delight the friends of fingerstyle. This smaller size is extremely bullet- and couch-friendly. In addition, the Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT1 pickup delivers the perfect sound for the stage.
If you are looking for a small, compact guitar with warm mids and pickups, the Martin 00L-17E Black Smoke is the ideal partner. Equipped with a solid Sitka spruce top and a mahogany body, this Parlor resonates with clear bass, warm and assertive midrange and fine silver highs. Accordingly, the Martin 00L-17E Black Smoke is ideal for fingerpicking and light strumming.
The relatively short scale length of 632mm ensures soft playability with little effort. The nickel-plated Golden Age Relic tuners provide tuning stability and complete the impressive vintage look. The compact Parlor body is extremely light in mobility and ergonomics.
The innovative Fishman Matrix VT Enhance pickup is an under-saddle pickup in combination with the Acoustic Imaging System. The latter was developed by Martin in cooperation with Fishman individually for each model. Accordingly, by adding the image, the original sound of the guitar is amplified and all this in studio microphone quality and without susceptibility to feedback.
At the upper part of the sound hole there is a volume and tone control, while at the lower part of the sound hole the model image can be mixed as desired. This results in a true and natural sound image that would otherwise only have been possible with feedback-prone condenser microphones. Practical: For easy access to the battery compartment, the end pin is positioned at the jack input.
