Gibson L00 Standard Left-Hand Acoustic Guitar (Vintage Sunburst) inc Hard Case

First introduced in 1932, the Gibson L-00 helped shape the voice of Depression-era blues and remains one of the company's most celebrated small-body acoustics. Well suited for fingerstyle techniques, folk music, and beyond, the L-00 Standard honours the legacy of those early instruments while incorporating the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. Designed to deliver a natural amplified sound, the system preserves the guitar's individual sonic personality while accurately conveying every detail of a player's performance. Despite its compact dimensions, the L-00 Standard offers remarkable projection and balance that rival many larger-bodied acoustic guitars.Among its earliest champions were influential Delta blues musicians such as Robert Johnson. Today, nearly a century after its debut, the L-00 continues to inspire a new generation of artists, including Olivia Rodrigo. Its compact parlor-style body provides a comfortable playing experience and a smaller footprint than a dreadnought model like the J-45. A narrower waist helps produce a focused, articulate voice with controlled low-end response, making it easy to place in a mix. The guitar's quick response makes it a natural choice for fingerstyle and blues players while remaining adaptable across a wide variety of musical styles.The L-00 Standard features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides. Traditional scalloped X-bracing helps maximize resonance while contributing to the instrument's balanced tonal character and broad dynamic range. Single-ply binding accents the top and back, while the hand-sprayed Vintage Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar the timeless look associated with classic Gibson acoustics.Its mahogany neck is carved to Gibson's comfortable SlimTaper profile and topped with a rosewood fretboard featuring a 12-inch radius, 19 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. A closed-slot rectangular rosewood bridge is fitted with a TUSQ saddle and bridge pins, while Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners provide reliable tuning stability and smooth, precise adjustment. A traditional L-00 pickguard completes the model's iconic appearance.The L-00 Standard is now equipped with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active electronics package utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a rich, natural amplified acoustic tone that faithfully reflects the instrument's unique character without affecting its unplugged sound. The Baggs HiFi DNA system also delivers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to that of an under-saddle pickup. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick access to adjustments during a performance while remaining virtually invisible to the audience. Comfortable, expressive, and easy to play, the L-00 Standard continues the tradition of Gibson's iconic small-body acoustic design. Ready for both stage and studio applications, it ships in a hardshell case.FeaturesSmall Body Body with Mahogany Back, Mahogany Sides, Sitka Spruce Top and Single-ply Top and Back BindingMahogany SlimTaper Profile Neck with Rosewood FingerboardAcoustic Pickup: Baggs HiFi DNAControls: 1 Volume, 1 ToneScale Length: 628.65 mm -  FretsBridge: Rectangle, closed slot Grover Mini Rotomatic TunersHardshell Case Included
