Early Gibson L- series small bodies are popular among modern players and this shop built facsimile will not disappoint. With the right combination of tone woods and features, this example is not only nice to look at but also easy to play and great sounding. Cedar-topped tone is rich and warm played bare fingers but still bluesy, punchy and quite present as paired with the figured maple sides and back. Abalone embellishments complete a very classy looking guitar for the money.

CONDITION: Scratch build using Gibson L-0 body mold. No porefill was used before applying the clear lacquer finish for a more organic look. All solid woods and quality materials were composed in the vintage style with evidence of intentional wear applied here and there.
SOUND: Warm cedar-infused tone with a nice punch when digging in. Deeper body design accentuates the vintage vibe. Great all-around parlor for fingerstyle but also suitable as flatpicker or strummer with a light touch. Action can be raised for a player with a more aggressive attack.
