  • Description: The Gibson L-00s from the 30s are a favorite among players, and for good reason. They're comfortable to play, produce a dry, woody tone that only a vintage guitar can produce, and they're good lookin' to boot! The FON dates this one to 1936, as do the fancy brass Grover tuners that Gibson used in this time frame, among the snazziest tuners to appear on a Gibson. This example is an all original example including nut and saddle (in case). Curb-side appeal is excellent, showing some nicks and dings from age, and a side crack along the upper bout. Structurally, the guitar is sound from stem to stern. Recent neck set, bridge reglue and a few brace tips reglued as well as a small section of the back/side seam. No cracks in the top. Action is set to 5 & 6/64th, and the fingerboard shows little evidence of playing wear. The back of the slight 'V' neck shows little wear or abuse from capos. The bridge retains its original profile. This L-00 produces the tone that made its reputation: punchy, full and woody and is among the best of the L-00s we've offered.
