Gibson Acoustic L-00 Deluxe, Rosewood Burst Overview
Gibson's legendary L-00 arrived in 1932 and instantly became a firm favourite with blues and folk players. This modern day incarnation stays true to form to produce the classic tones it is renowned for.
It's no lie when players state how the diminutive size of this narrow waisted parlour guitar disguises what is a focused, articulate, superb sounding, and playing, instrument. A Sitka Spruce top over Rosewood back and sides provides incredible punch with pulsating lows and sizzling highs, along with an unrivalled dynamic range. The SlimTaper Mahogany neck and Richlite fingerboard serve to provide exceptional playability, and what was originally one of Gibson's base models now features an attention to detail only matched by its inimitable sound; multicoloured rope binding, mother-of-pearl brass-bordered split diamond fingerboard inlays, and classic mini gold Grover tuners show just how far this humble design has travelled.
A truly classic guitar updated and enhanced - a definite key to the highway for those that have ramblin' on their mind!
