13 FRET L-00

New for 2024!

 

The L-00 is an incredibly versatile medium-sized instrument that has captured the imagination of many contemporary players, chosen for its rich, punchy bass and well balanced rich tone across all strings. Great for bothflatpicking and fingerpicking!

​

My L-00s are based on the rare limited run of 13 fret instruments made in 1932. I use Gibson's short-lived early method of light construction of those much-loved transitional instruments, but I have shifted the position of the braces to properly support the bridge and strengthen the top in general, which Gibson neglected to do back in the day.

​

There is something special about the 13 fret design, which gives the guitar a little extra delicacy and projection that the later 14 fret model lacks. 

​

Dimensions are all pretty much standard L-00 - 14.75” at the lower bout, 24.75” scale, 1.75” nut width and 12’ fretboard radius.
