1934 Gibson L-00

You have to trust us on this one, because the pictures don't do it justice.This is our favourite guitar to come through the shop in a long time. I'veplayed guitars that sounded like this before, but I always wake up a fewminutes later to realize it was only dream. We were struck by the vibe ofthis guitar as soon as we opened the case. It has had one owner, and stillhas the original strap and cool cardboard case it came with in 1934. Wehave just done an impeccably clean neck reset and refret, our best work onour favourite guitar. This guitar is extremely subtle, responding to thesoftest touch, and pulling out a surprising left punch for bluesy moments.What can I say? This one's got IT. The Adirondack spruce top is absolutelycrack free, as are the mahogany back and sides. Few guitars have ever beenquite as pretty as these early target-burst L-00's, with their firestripepickguards and delicate-looking straight bridges of Brazilian rosewood. Theoriginal tuners still work well. This guitar is ready for another lifetimeof music, and ready to look great doing it, too.
