Gibson L-00 Standard Acoustic-Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst
Description
The Gibson Acoustic 2019 L-00 Standard is a modern-day incarnation of their legendary 1932 L-00 model. Whether you call it a "parlor guitar" or "blues box," the L-00 Standard delivers the focused, robust tone Gibson is known for in a petite, comfortable package. Handcrafted by Gibson's master luthiers in Bozeman, Montana, the L-00 Standard embodies over a century of acoustic guitar building expertise.
Thermally Aged Solid Sitka Spruce Top
The L-00 Standard's solid Sitka spruce top has been thermally aged to enhance its tonal qualities and vintage appearance. This meticulous process results in a top that is resonant yet rigid, producing a balanced acoustic voice with crisp highs, rich lows and a palpable midrange. The spruce top is paired with solid mahogany back and sides, a wood prized for its warmth and depth. Together, these premium tonewoods yield the signature Gibson sound in a compact frame.
LR Baggs VTC Pickup System
When it's time to plug in, the L-00 Standard delivers with its LR Baggs VTC pickup system. Featuring an under-saddle transducer, volume control and onboard preamp, the VTC system accurately captures the L-00 Standard's acoustic properties and dynamics. Roll off the volume for mellow, jazzy tones or turn it up to cut through the mix in a full band setting. However you dial it in, the VTC system provides a natural amplified sound worthy of the Gibson name.
Alluring Vintage Looks and Superb Playability
One look at the L-00 Standard's vintage sunburst finish, faux tortoise pickguard and timeless design is enough to spark inspiration. But its visual appeal is matched by its comfortable feel, thanks to a slim mahogany neck and modest body depth. The slim neck and 12" fretboard radius facilitate smooth playability and invite intricate solos or complex fingerpicking patterns. Whether onstage or at home, the L-00 Standard is a guitar you'll find hard to put down.
Built-to-Last a Lifetime
Like all Gibson acoustics, the L-00 Standard is built to stand the test of time. Every component, from the thermally aged spruce top to the Grover tuners, is crafted to strict quality standards using premium materials. The result is an instrument that not only sounds amazing now but will continue to improve with age. For players seeking a compact, handcrafted acoustic with legendary Gibson tone and styling, the L-00 Standard is an investment that will bring joy for generations.
