"John Greven is uniquely qualified to
recreate this vintage classic, the Gibson
L-00 from the 1930s. John has more experience
than most luthiers having worked for years
at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, TN. We've waited
a long time for this little beast, but it
was worth the wait. Simple put this is a killer
blues guitar, Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson
and Ramblin' Thomas never sounded so good.
If you want the vintage tone without the vintage
hassles, this is for you." - Paul Heumiller
