Gibson L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret Acoustic Electric Guitar – Rosewood Burst

The Warmth of Rosewood and the Responsiveness of a 12-Fret Neck – The Gibson L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret Acoustic Electric Guitar in Rosewood Burst

Developed in the 1930s, the L-00 has been an industry standard for many years. The L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret captures the heritage of the early L-00 models, retains their unparalleled projection, and adds the deep resonance and sparkling treble of a rosewood body for surprising tonal depth and balance from a small-bodied guitar. Additionally, the L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret’s neck joins the body at the 12th fret, giving the L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret the playing comfort and enhanced midrange tone and responsiveness that only a 12-fret neck can deliver. To make this exceptional guitar even more special, the L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret is equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC active under-saddle pickup and preamp and comes in a hardshell case.
