First introduced in the early 1930s, the Gibson L-00 quickly became one of the most recognized small-body acoustics in the Gibson lineup. The Gibson L-00 Century 12-Fret is a fresh take on this revered design. While it preserves the core attributes, this edition moves to a 12-fret neck-to-body joint. This makes the neck slightly shorter and shifts the bridge plate to a more central, resonant zone of the top. This guitar pairs a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top and is framed with single-ply cream binding on both the top and back. Its mahogany neck features a comfortable SlimTaper profile and a rosewood fretboard. The guitar is completed with a bone nut and saddle, TUSQ bridge pins and a hand-applied satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Each instrument comes in a premium Century Collection tweed hardshell case.
