Gibson L-00 Standard Left Handed, Vintage Sunburst

Full Description

Iconic small-body heritage

The Gibson Acoustic L-00 is a modern tribute to a legendary design first introduced in the 1930s. Revered for its compact body and powerful voice, the L-00 set the benchmark for small-bodied acoustics that could stand up in a full-band mix or shine on their own. This left-handed version captures that same timeless character, giving you access to a rich tonal history with updated craftsmanship. Despite its smaller size, the L-00 delivers excellent projection and tonal depth, retaining the dry, punchy mids that made the original so sought after by blues artists, folk performers, and singer-songwriters alike.

Premium tonewood construction

Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the L-00 delivers a warm, balanced tone with plenty of clarity and dynamic response. The Sitka spruce top adds brightness and articulation, while the mahogany body contributes warmth and a midrange richness that’s perfect for vocal accompaniment or intricate fingerpicking. Traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing allows the top to resonate freely, increasing sustain and tonal complexity. This combination of tonewoods is ideal for capturing expressive playing styles with nuance and subtlety, offering a versatile sound profile that suits both delicate melodies and more aggressive strumming.

Effortless playability

A Slim Taper mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard give the L-00 a smooth, fast-playing feel. The 24.75-inch scale length makes fretting easy and comfortable, while the 12-inch fingerboard radius supports clean note articulation and smooth transitions across the neck. From detailed runs to steady rhythm work, this guitar’s comfortable neck profile encourages extended play without fatigue. The rosewood fingerboard not only feels inviting but also adds warmth to the tone, enhancing the instrument's overall sonic character. Its playability makes it a standout choice for those who want a responsive guitar with classic styling.

Stage-ready performance

The built-in L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system makes the L-00 fully stage-ready, offering natural, lifelike tone when amplified. Designed to preserve the character of the guitar’s acoustic voice, the VTC system includes an under-saddle pickup and unobtrusive soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone. You get precise control without compromising the guitar’s vintage aesthetics. From live gigs to studio sessions and online performances, the L-00 ensures your tone translates with clarity and authenticity. Paired with a durable hardshell case and a full Gibson accessory kit, this beauty is ready to go wherever your music takes you.
