Introduced in 1931 during the Great Depression, the Gibson L-00 became the most iconic small-body Gibson of the era, and it has maintained a devoted following ever since. This Special version brings that heritage to a USA-built instrument at an accessible price point, handcrafted by Gibson's acoustic luthiers in Bozeman, Montana. Solid mahogany back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top, SlimTaper neck profile, and a satin nitrocellulose finish keep things clean and understated. An L.R. Baggs Element Bronze pickup with active electronics makes it stage-ready right out of the box. A premium softshell case is included.
