Description

This is a seriously rare one.

A left-handed Martin 000-17E in Black Smoke, and about as scarce as they come in the UK — left-handed examples are virtually unheard of. If you’re a southpaw looking for something genuinely different from the usual Martin line-up, this is a special opportunity.

Built with an all-solid mahogany body, the 000-17E delivers a warm, dry, woody tone with loads of character, perfect for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and vocal accompaniment. The Black Smoke satin finish looks stunning in the flesh and gives the guitar a real vintage-meets-modern vibe.

Condition is pretty much as new, with no notable marks or wear. Fitted with Martin’s factory E1 electronics featuring the Matrix VT Enhance system, so it sounds just as good plugged in as it does acoustically.

Supplied with the original Martin padded gigbag.

Extremely rare. Left-handed. Don’t expect to see another one anytime soon.
