Up for sale, a 2018 Gibson L-00 Limited Edition 12-fret Rosewood in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Tonewoods include a Sitka spruce top with traditional hand-scalloped X bracing, rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck. The use of rosewood ensures rich resonance and warmth, and this L-00 has a broad, balanced sound, with plenty of top end articulation.
There’s a clarity and note detail to this instrument not always present on Gibson’s smaller-bodied acoustics; cutting and clear when needed, and providing ample warmth when strummed. This L-00 also boasts an LR Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup, very practical for on-stage usage, with discreet Volume and Tone wheels at the soundhole. Weighing 3lbs 15oz, this L-00 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
