Martin 00L-16E Acoustic Guitar - Black Smoke

Warm, Intimate Voice - The Martin 00L-16E Acoustic Guitar in Black Smoke

The Martin 00L-16E Black Smoke introduces a warm, intimate voice to the refreshed 16 Series, pairing standout style with a focused, vintage-inspired tone. Its gloss spruce top in a striking Black Smoke finish is matched with satin solid mahogany back and sides for punchy midrange, strong treble response, and a controlled low end that sits comfortably in any mix.

The sloped-shoulder 00L body size delivers a woody, responsive voice, ideal for fingerstyle, songwriting, or expressive rhythm work, while offering surprising projection from a compact frame. A grained ivoroid pickguard adds a distinctive visual touch, while scalloped X-bracing enhances sustain and resonance for a full, dynamic sound.

L.R. Baggs Element electronics make it ready for live performance or recording. With touch, nuance, and confidence beyond its size, it’s built to command the room.
