Withdrawal termsDescription
The DSS-16E Black Smoke combines a striking appearance with a warm, vintage-inspired tone. Its high-gloss grand top, featuring a striking Black Smoke finish, is paired with satin-finished solid mahogany on the back and sides, resulting in a tone with a powerful midrange, strong treble response, and focused lows that fit well in any mix.
The round-shoulder dreadnought body shape delivers a woody, intimate tone. In a completely new addition, the round-shoulder dreadnought is paired with a shorter 24.9″ scale length to achieve a “looser” playing feel that complements the model’s natural warmth.
An ivory-colored pickguard adds a distinctive visual touch, while forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances the DSS-16E’s resonance and bass response. An L.R. Baggs Element pickup system makes it ready for stage and recording.
