Gibson L-00 Standard, Vintage Sunburst

Full Description

Tonewood blend to suit every style

The optimum mix of acoustic tonewoods. You've never heard such a blend of warm tones and dynamic range like this before. Gibson have poured their heart and soul into the L-00 Standard to guarantee an astounding overall palette of sound. Sitka spruce, which forms the body's top, is the best tonewood in the business for allowing you to create a rich, incredibly wide-ranging variety of sounds.

Brilliantly strong and long-lasting yet still with enough flexibility to give you a broad depth of tone, sitka spruce accommodates every playing style. Paired with a denser mahogany back and sides for beefy bass tones, Gibson have crafted an acoustic body that gives you everything. Whether you're aggressively strumming or delicately picking, the L-00 has you covered.

Loud, dynamic, and crystal-clear

Traditional sound for the modern day. The L-00 has been around long enough to see the music industry evolve before it. As music moved into a brave new world, it necessitated increased amplification as songs became more complex and the amount of tracks in a mix increased.

The Gibson L-00 Standard brings a superb, classic acoustic model into the present day with a massive, studio-quality sound. A super high-calibre LR Baggs™ VTC pickup mounted just inside the soundhole means you can plug in and play at loud volumes while maintaining acoustic warmth and definition. Bring vintage acoustic quality to any venue.

Speedy, comfortable playing action

Glide freely up and down the neck. You can completely release your creative genius with a rosewood fretboard. Your playing will always have unparalleled smoothness thanks to the wood's sleek, comfortable to the touch playing surface. This also means you're able to let your creativity flow for as long as you desire without the drawback of sore fingers.

Furthermore, you'll be able to fly up and down the mahogany neck at high speed. Its slim taper profile makes it easy to play up-tempo chord sequences. It also fits comfortably into the palm of your hand, eliminating cramp. Whether you're spending hours on end in the studio, touring heavily, or having lengthy sessions practicing your skills, the L-00 Standard is the ideal electro-acoustic for you.

Great structural integrity with X-bracing

Balanced tone and lasting durability. The L-00 features Gibson's hand-scalloped X-bracing across the soundboard, enhancing your overall sound by ensuring your playing is always nicely levelled and unwavering. Furthermore, the "X" shape of the bracing gives added strength to your guitar, reinforcing the structure to make the L-00 Standard tough, sturdy, and long-lasting.

Durable hard case

Maximum protection. A guitar as good as this needs to be kept safe and secure. Gibson include a branded hard shell case with the guitar at no extra cost. This is an extremely durable, hard-wearing case. You'll have peace of mind that your guitar will always be protected and preserved.

A pedigree guitar that's seen it all

Gibson L-series guitars seem like they've been on the scene forever. That's because they pretty much have. They've seen the blues revolution with Robert Johnson in the 1930s. They were there as Woody Guthrie set out to change the world with politically-charged folk and country music. They were present at the birth of rock 'n' roll. Players of the L-00 are as wide-ranging as Guthrie, Johnson, Sheryl Crow, and Elvis Costello. The quintessential acoustic suitable for everything.
