❌SOLD❌ Gibson L-00 Standard Steel String Sunburst, 2018

On February 7, 2023 /

The Gibson L-00 Standard steel string reproduces one of the three classic ‘L’ models built from the 1926 to 1945 period. These inexpensive, lightly built instruments were very responsive and used by many casual players and mid range professionals. The L-00 began production in 1929 with a 12-fret neck, but by the time of its second 1933 catalog listing had a 14-fret neck. Some of the last few examples, from 1943 on, had the ‘Only a Gibson is Good Enough’ banner. At this point, the L-00 was being replaced with the ‘LG’ series.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson 1930s L00 Classic Limited Edition Ebony, 2015

On June 22, 2020 /

The Gibson 1930s L00 Classic is a reproduction of what became a very popular small body guitar introduced in 1932 and built until 1946. At that time, the Dreadnought or Jumbo design was just re-entering the market with Martin’s 1931 D-1, which became the D-18 in 1932. The 1930s L-00 Classic takes its cues from the post-1937 models; prior to that year, the back was not bound.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Advanced Jumbo Historic Collection Vintage Burst, 2005

On April 15, 2020 /

Here’s a lovely and unusual piece – a Gibson Advanced Jumbo Historic Collection model, patterned after the original 1936 round shouldered, Rosewood dreadnought. While this looks rather like other Gibson round shoulder models – particularly the venerable J-45 – the Advanced Jumbo has a longer scale length, the X brace is moved closer to the soundhole, and the sides and back are Rosewood instead of Mahogany. Gibson launched the Advanced Jumbo in 1936 but discontinued it in 1939. The original models used a mix of Brazilian and Indian Rosewood – both are documented.

On March 6, 2020 /

This is a treat – from the 2013 Historic Collection, what is now described as the Gibson 1936 Advanced Jumbo in Vintage Sunburst! This model saw a very limited production run of perhaps 50 guitars during 2013. Initially introduced in 1936 and built until 1940, the Gibson Advanced Jumbo is a round or ‘slope’ shouldered dreadnought guitar with Red Spruce – also known as Adirondack Spruce – and Rosewood for the sides and back.

❌SOLD❌ Waterloo WL14 LTR Ladder Braced Guitar Boot Burst, 2018

On October 18, 2019 /

Harkening back to the 1920s and 1930s, the Waterloo WL14 LTR leads the Waterloo line, available with ladder or X bracing and a very thin nitrocellulose lacquer Boot Burst finish.
Waterloo guitars aim to reproduce the sound of depression-era instruments, but are built to the highest standards by people who really know and care about their craft. The outcome is probably as good as these designs can be, which is saying something.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson L00 1930s Classic Steel String Guitar Black, 2015

On August 8, 2019 /

Built as a limited edition during 2015, the Gibson L00 1930s Classic heads back to the early days of the American steel string guitar’s meteoric rise in popularity, as it displaced the banjo. The Gibson L-00 was introduced in 1929 and built until 1946, though it made its first catalog appearance in 1932, and at the time sold for $25 new! It featured a Spruce top with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck. Originally, the fingerboard was unbound and ‘ebonized’ – dyed black – and could have been any number of woods other than Rosewood, depending on availability and price.
