Gibson L-00 Original Ebony
A small body with vintage charm and balanced tonality
Gibson was a pioneer in the development of small body guitars in the beginning of the 1900s with its “L-Series Small Body” acoustics. These smaller Gibsons deliver a tonality that is best described in Gibson’s 1934 catalog as a sound of “perfect balance.” The L-00 Original, while achieving all the advantages of an acoustic that is comfortable to play in your home, still produces Gibson’s rich full sound. The new L-00 Original features a classic white script Gibson logo, subtle antiquing on the top and back binding, and Golden Age nickel tuners.
