~1933 Gibson 12-Fret L-00 Black w/White Pickguard

We’re thrilled to offer this rare and beautiful 12-fret Gibson L-00 sporting its original black finish and white pickguard. Weighing in at 3 pounds 1 ounce, it’s a featherweight guitar with surprising volume and bell-like clarity. The action is great and it plays cleanly all the way up the neck. This L-00 is an 85+ year-old guitar which is as lively and musical today as it was at its birth.

This guitar is all original except for a replaced bridge and bridge plate, one replaced brace, and a professional crack repair. The guitar had a neck reset in the past so playability is excellent. There is a bit of bellying between the soundhole and the bridge which we often find in these lightly built guitars. The guitar is in very good structural condition and not in need of further repairs. This L-00 has a long life ahead of it.

Original 3-on-a-plate tuners, ebony nut, and rare white pickguard. Comes with its original hardshell case. It’s the complete package. This guitar is a joy to play and will make a great addition to anyone’s vintage collection. Grab it while you can!
