The J-16E Black Smoke introduces a bold new voice to the refreshed 16 Series. Its gloss spruce top in a striking Black Smoke finish is matched with satin solid East Indian rosewood back and sides for deep bass, rich overtones, and articulate highs that cut through the mix with clarity. The Jumbo body size delivers thunderous volume with sparkling top-end response. Scalloped X-bracing enhances sustain and resonance for a full, dynamic voice, while L.R. Baggs® Element™ electronics make it ready for live performance or recording.
