What is it?
Gibson introduced the L-00 model in 1931, during the Great Depression. But even then it was made using similar quality timbers to mid-priced acoustic guitars like the J-45, and high-spec models such as the stunning SJ-200 ‘super jumbo’. Being a smaller-bodied guitar than these stablemates made it ideal as a musical travelling companion, so it became a favourite of the itinerant blues and folk players of the day.
