Gibson L-00 Special, Satin Wine Red

Full Description

Classic Small-Body Tone

The Gibson L-00 Special captures the essence of a vintage small-body acoustic with a rich, balanced sound that stands out in any setting. Its solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides create a tonal blend of warmth, clarity, and dynamic range. The traditional scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance, giving you a responsive instrument that projects well despite its compact size. Perfect for fingerpicking blues or strumming chords, the L-00 Special delivers a distinct voice with a strong midrange presence and tight bass response, making it a favourite among acoustic enthusiasts.

Premium Craftsmanship

Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, the L-00 Special is built with the same level of care and attention to detail as Gibson’s higher-end acoustics. The single-ply cream binding on the top and back adds an elegant touch, while the satin nitrocellulose finish allows the wood to age naturally and develop even more character over time. The compound dovetail neck-to-body joint is secured with hot hide glue, a traditional construction method that enhances sustain and ensures a rock-solid connection between the neck and body. Every detail of the L-00 Special reflects Gibson’s commitment to quality and tradition.

Comfortable And Fast-Playing Neck

The L-00 Special is designed for effortless playability, thanks to its Slim Taper neck profile and smooth rosewood fretboard. The neck’s 24.75-inch scale length and 12-inch radius create a comfortable playing surface that suits a variety of styles, from delicate fingerpicking to expressive chord work. The mother-of-pearl dot inlays offer a classic aesthetic, while the rectangular rosewood bridge with a TUSQ saddle enhances tonal transfer for a crisp and articulate sound. With 19 frets and a well-balanced feel, the L-00 Special makes long playing sessions enjoyable and fatigue-free.

Stage And Studio-Ready

Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze undersaddle pickup, the L-00 Special is ready to perform straight out of the case. The active preamp system captures the guitar’s natural acoustic tone with warmth and clarity, ensuring it sounds just as good amplified as it does unplugged. A discreet soundhole-mounted volume control allows you to adjust levels on the fly without compromising the guitar’s classic aesthetics. Chrome Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners provide excellent tuning stability, while the premium softshell case offers reliable protection for when you're on the move. From playing on stage, recording in the studio, or performing at home, the L-00 Special delivers a versatile and inspiring playing experience.
