Friends, you won't want to put this one down for a heartbeat. It's dried out and woken up so much since 1936, this Gibson L-00 weighs next to nothing but packs a powerful, expressive, and frankly loud! voice that works great for fingerpicking, and honestly a fair bit of flatpick work too. Quick and energetic, it's practically humming. Mahogany back and sides plus Adirondack Spruce top and tiger stripe pickguard, original finish, a recent refret for excellent playability, and replaced Kluson-style tuners for modern tuneability (originals included with case).

Everyone loves the 1930s Gibsons, and for good reason. Especially the L-00s are famous for their power and perfect suitability for blues and rags and old time music. So much fun.
Punches way above its weight class! This '36 L-00 has a very punchy and expressive voice that belies its slim dimensions. It immediately grabbed me, and I didn't want to let go. - Accessories
