It's part of Gibson's Century Collection, which marks 100 years of Gibson flat-tops. The 12-fret L-00 goes back to the earliest L-00s of the early 1930s and has appeared since only in occasional limited runs. Here it's a production model. It has a Sitka spruce top over a mahogany body with scalloped X bracing. Single-ply cream binding runs around the top and back, and the rosette is a cream multi-ring design. Everything is finished in thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer in Ebony. At 3.44 lb., it's light and easy to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mahogany neck uses Gibson's 12-fret SlimTaper profile (.900\" at the 1st fret, 1.00\" at the 9th). It joins the body with a compound dovetail set in hot hide glue, Gibson's traditional acoustic joinery. The rosewood fretboard has a 12\" radius, 19 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. You get a 24.75\" scale and a 1.725\" bone nut. The shorter scale keeps string tension relaxed, so bends and fingerpicking come easy. The vintage details continue throughout. The headstock carries an early-1900s Gibson script logo decal, and the Golden Age open-back strap tuners have cream buttons. A rosewood rectangle bridge holds a bone saddle and TUSQ pins, and the L-00 pickguard rounds it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 12-fret design puts the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, where the top has the most room to move. That gives this L-00 a warm, punchy voice with more low end than you'd expect from a body this size. The shorter neck also brings the first position closer, so the guitar sits snug against you. It responds well to a light touch, which makes it a natural fit for fingerstyle, home recording, and songwriting. Whether you're a fingerstyle player who wants a responsive small-body acoustic, a singer-songwriter who needs a guitar that sits under the vocal, or a collector who wants a production 12-fret L-00, this one deserves a close look. (Serial #22166055) It ships in a premium Century Collection tweed hardshell case.
