The L-1 one is very similar to the L-00 but has a bound back. It’s hard to identify this one but it appears be an L-1 from 1920s. We refurbished it into a great player instrument that is solid and ready for serious playing time. We had master luthier Bill Tippin repair cracks, reset and refret the neck and install Waverly tuners. Now this is a real player with that incredible vintage tone but totally reliable. This guitar is perfect for the blues or rag player looking for the real McCoy without any of the vintage hassles.
This was a fun project, we got the guitar in need of repair and challenged luthier Bill Tippin with preserving it's original character but asked him to make it completely reliable, a player's instrument. We are thrilled with the end result it has all the vintage mojo and killer small body Gibson tone but it plays like a new guitar. We had the neck reset and installed new frets for great feel. We installed a nice set of Waverlys with Snakewood buttons to make sure this one would hold tune and it sure does. This is a great 1920s player Gibson ready for stage, studio or home use. No worries, just play it... 
I've always liked the old Gibsons and this one is perfect for the person who wants that sound but wants it to play like new. Gibson sells their reissue for nearly $6,000, so this is an incredible deal, even though it's not all original. Everything has been made to play like new. | Scale Length | 24.7500 in |
