Description

Very Good Condition!! w/gig bag

We have received a pre-owned Black Smoker TRAD MASTER DELTA-S in WHS Faded 3-Tone Sunburst—in excellent condition!

This is a "Sound Messe 2025" model!

"Black Smoker" is a Japanese brand established in 2013 by Black Cloud Guitar Prod. Inc.

Based in Nagano Prefecture—a hub for Japanese instrument manufacturers—their guitars are handcrafted by two skilled artisans.

While honoring traditional styles, they create cutting-edge instruments that pursue modern playability and sound.

Highly acclaimed for their quality, they have garnered a large fan base among both professional and amateur musicians.

This instrument is the "TRAD MASTER," one of Black Smoker's flagship models.

Boasting a more refined look, sound, and playability than the Standard series, it remains the undisputed #1 most popular model in the Black Smoker lineup.

It features an all-lacquer "thin-skin" finish with an aging process, resulting in a look that commands an overwhelming presence.

This guitar features a luxurious combination of materials: an alder body, a bird's-eye maple neck, and a Honduran rosewood fingerboard.

The neck, in particular, displays intense bird's-eye figuring that extends all the way up to the headstock.

It is an instrument that captivates with both its rich resonance and stunning aesthetics—qualities made possible by the use of premium woods reserved for limited-edition models.

It is equipped with Black Smoker's original wide-range humbucker and single-coil pickups.

By utilizing a wide-range humbucker in the neck position, the "DELTA" model's characteristic tonal contrast—a soft neck tone paired with a sharp bridge tone—is further accentuated.

With independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, players can achieve a wide variety of sounds, even in the mixed pickup position.

The neck features a slim C-shape profile, a 305mm fingerboard radius, and medium-jumbo frets. The neck specifications reflect the meticulous attention to detail of Mr. Kuroiwa, the founder and builder at Black Cloud; its standout features are a gentle fretboard radius and larger frets, which minimize the risk of notes choking out.

The neck is shaped with foresight regarding potential issues like forward bowing or "ski-jumping" (rise at the body joint) caused by aging or moisture absorption during play. This design ensures long-term stability and allows for easy truss rod access from the headstock side during adjustments.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a special model in excellent pre-owned condition!

Don't miss out!
