Tonewood blend to suit every style

The optimum mix of acoustic tonewoods. You've never heard such a blend of warm tones and dynamic range like this before. Gibson have poured their heart and soul into the L-00 Studio to guarantee an astounding overall palette of sound. Sitka spruce, which forms the body's top, is the best tonewood in the business for allowing you to create a rich, incredibly wide-ranging variety of sounds.

Brilliantly strong and long-lasting yet still with enough flexibility to give you a broad depth of tone, sitka spruce accommodates every playing style. Paired with a walnut back for beefy bass tones, Gibson have crafted an acoustic body that gives you everything. Whether you're aggressively strumming or delicately picking, the L-00 has you covered.

Artisan style from Gibson's master craftsmen

This is art. The L-00 Studio is an extraordinary example of Gibson's hand-made craftsmanship and eye for design at the very highest level. The sitka spruce top looks resplendent with a hand-sprayed walnut burst finish. Augmented with a glossy, ornate pickguard, this model is steeped in class. You'll always look awesome with this guitar, no matter what you're playing.

Loud, dynamic, and crystal-clear

Traditional sound for the modern day. The L-00 has been around long enough to see the music industry evolve before it. As music moved into a brave new world, it necessitated increased amplification as songs became more complex and the amount of tracks in a mix increased.

The L-00 Studio brings a superb, classic acoustic model into the present day with a massive, studio-quality sound. A super high-calibre LR Baggs™ VTC pickup mounted just inside the soundhole means you can plug in and play at loud volumes while maintaining acoustic warmth and definition. Bring vintage acoustic quality to any venue.

Fast-playing, comfortable fretboard

Dance freely up and down the neck. You can completely release your creative genius with a walnut fretboard. Your playing will always have unparalleled smoothness thanks to the walnut's sleek, comfortable to the touch playing surface. This also means you're able to let your creative juices flow for as long as you desire without the drawback of sore fingers or cramp. Perfect for any musician with a heavy gigging schedule.

Great structural integrity with X-bracing

Balanced tone and lasting durability. The L-00 features Gibson's hand-scalloped X-bracing across the soundboard, enhancing your overall sound by ensuring your playing is always nicely-levelled and unwavering. Furthermore, the "X" shape of the bracing gives added strength to your guitar, reinforcing the structure to make the L-00 Studio tough, sturdy, and long-lasting.

A pedigree guitar that's seen it all

Gibson L-series guitars seem like they've been on the scene forever. That's because they pretty much have. They've seen the blues revolution with Robert Johnson in the 1930s. They were there as Woody Guthrie set out to change the world with politically-charged folk and country music. They were present at the birth of rock 'n' roll. Players of the L-00 are as wide-ranging as Guthrie, Johnson, Sheryl Crow, and Elvis Costello. The quintessential acoustic suitable for everything.
