Gibson L-00 sunburst

1942

A model that I particularly like, as you know if you visit this site often. This L-00 was manufactured during the famous banner era. The production of the L-00 and the LG-2 that eventually replaced it overlapped for a few years until 1944. Typical of this period, the neck is very round, which is really not the case for all L-00s. We find many with V-shaped profiles in the 1930s. The bracing is very thin and well glued. Note inside a small crack repair on the table joint between the soundhole and the fingerboard. The bridgeplate has been changed. As you can see in the photos, it was equipped with a soundhole pickup and 2 pots that were removed. The operation went well. The neck is at the right angle and it is easy to play. Tuners are from the 50s. It sounds just like a very good L-00. Equally well-suited to picking and blues in all its forms, it’s not limited to either. In fact, it’s one of Gibson’s most versatile guitars, in my opinion. It’s a great accompaniment if you’re more of a folk player, for example. Supplied in its cardboard case.
