collapse expand iconDescription

The Gibson Acoustic 2019 L-00 Standard acoustic guitar is a modern-day incarnation of their legendary 1932 L-00 model. Whether you call it a "parlor guitar" or "blues box," the L-00 Standard delivers the focused, robust tone Gibson is known for in a petite, comfortable package. Handcrafted by Gibson's master luthiers in Bozeman, Montana, the L-00 Standard embodies over a century of acoustic guitar building expertise.

Thermally Aged Solid Sitka Spruce Top

The L-00 Standard's solid Sitka spruce top has been thermally aged to enhance its tonal qualities and vintage appearance. This meticulous process results in a top that is resonant yet rigid, producing a balanced acoustic voice with crisp highs, rich lows and a palpable midrange. The spruce top is paired with solid mahogany back and sides, a wood prized for its warmth and depth. Together, these premium tonewoods yield the signature Gibson sound in a compact frame.

L.R. Baggs VTC Pickup System

When it's time to plug in, the L-00 Standard delivers with its L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system. Featuring an under-saddle transducer, volume control and onboard preamp, the VTC system accurately captures the L-00 Standard's acoustic properties and dynamics. Roll off the volume for mellow, jazzy tones or turn it up to cut through the mix in a full-band setting. However you dial it in, the VTC system provides a natural amplified sound worthy of the Gibson name.

Alluring Vintage Looks and Superb Playability

One look at the L-00 Standard's vintage sunburst finish, faux tortoise pickguard and timeless design is enough to spark inspiration. But its visual appeal is matched by its comfortable feel, thanks to a slim mahogany neck and modest body depth. The slim neck and 12" fretboard radius facilitate smooth playability and invite intricate solos or complex fingerpicking patterns. Whether onstage or at home, the L-00 Standard is a guitar you'll find hard to put down.

Built-to-Last a Lifetime

Like all Gibson acoustics, the L-00 Standard is built to stand the test of time. Every component, from the thermally aged spruce top to the Grover tuners, is crafted to strict quality standards using premium materials. The result is an instrument that not only sounds amazing now but will continue to improve with age. For players seeking a compact, handcrafted acoustic with legendary Gibson tone and styling, the L-00 Standard is an investment that will bring joy for generations.

    First I want to say the fit and finish right out of the case is impeccable amazing. Amazing guitar smells fantastic. I'm gonna be perfectly honest I almost don't even need to tune this guitar. It's maybe a half a cent out of tune and I've had the thing for three months and I played it all the time and it's in tune. It is an amazing instrument. I'm telling you do yourself a favor and get this guitar I've been wanting this guitar forever and I never pulled the trigger, but since I have pulled the trigger Will never go back beautiful instrument

    I don't think anybody out there needs me to tell them how great Gibson is. This particular item is a fingerpickers dream (IMO), it plays great, sounds great, looks great and is the perfect size for playing in a sitting position. What more could you ask for? If you can afford it I would highly recommend it.

    I know I'll make it back One of these days and turn on your TV To watch a man with a face like mine Being chased down a busy street When he gets caught I won't get up And I won't go to sleep I'm coming home, I'm coming home

    This is my first Gibson and the playability and tone is unmatched. Can't put it down. I own a couple of Taylors and a Martin D-18 but the L-00 has moved to the front of the list.
