The 000-17E Black Smoke blends vintage style with a balanced tone that’s full of character. Built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it offers clear articulation with a touch of warmth—ideal for a wide range of playing styles. The satin black finish, antique white binding, and ivoroid pickguard give it a bold, old-school look that stands out. Scalloped X-bracing brings out dynamic response and tonal nuance, while the 24.9" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width provide a comfortable playing feel. The Modified Low Oval neck profile makes for easy fretting, and the East Indian rosewood fingerboard features 1955 Style 18 mother-of-pearl inlays for a classic touch. Aged nickel tuners and a modern straightline rosewood bridge round out the aesthetic. Whether you're writing, recording, or playing live, the 000-17E Black Smoke delivers vintage inspiration with every note. A softshell case is included

-In business since 1976: Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.
-Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!
-Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum.
