Introduced in 1931 during the Great Depression, the Gibson L-00 became the most iconic small-body Gibson of the era, a no-frills instrument that put quality within reach during lean times. Gibson's own 1934 catalog described the L-Series sound as one of "perfect balance," and the model has maintained a devoted following ever since. This Epiphone version, developed in partnership with Gibson Acoustic, brings that heritage to an all-solid instrument at an accessible price: solid spruce top, solid mahogany back, sides, and neck, rosewood fretboard, and a bone nut and saddle. Fishman electronics with an S-Core pickup and Presys VT preamp make it equally at home on stage.
