1933 Gibson L-00 – £5499
NEW ARRIVAL The L00 is probably Gibson’s most desirable pre war acoustic, and they’re becoming more difficult to find. This is an old warhorse of a guitar, with the scars to prove it – yet no visible cracks or repairs – and it’s survived to become one of the best sounding pre war Gibsons I’ve played, a real tone monster. As soon as you pick the guitar up it takes you to a different place and time, full of history. The notes ring with great separation and detail, with long sustain and beautiful shimmer. With this kind of history, the guitar fits like a glove, the body size, the V neck, and comfortable action. This is a great chance to own a piece of Gibson history – it even comes in it’s original (equally battered) hard case.
