NEW ARRIVAL This is the rarest example of an L00 - an Ebony finish with red tortoiseshell pickguard. It’s an old warhorse of a guitar - and has the scars to prove it - but it's survived to become one of the best sounding blues guitars I've played, full of character. When you pick the guitar up you soon realise why it's been played so much, the single note clarity is excellent and the sustain is really impressive. Also it's very comfortable to play - after years and years of gigging, the V profile neck feels great. Despite all the bumps and bruises, it’s just back from a neck reset and a refret, so it plays like a dream and is strong enough to go on for another 82 years. This is a great chance to own a piece of Gibson history - it comes in a non original hard case.
