Description
The L-00 has always spoken quite loudly. It was considered the industry standard upon its introduction in the 1930s. It set the bar for quality in an acoustic guitar. Now with the L-00 Deluxe that bar is lifted to stunning new heights. Hand-built with rosewood back and sides and sitka spruce top with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, as well as colored rope binding, gold fret wire, graduated Mother-of-Pearl split diamond inlays, gold hardware and an LR Baggs VTC, the L-00 Deluxe speaks louder than ever, still with the incredible balance and unparalleled projection that has made it one of Gibson’s most coveted models for over 80 years.
About Gibson Montana:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
“Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy… or they become legend.” So wrote Montana author Jim Harrison, perhaps about the master luthiers of Gibson Montana, which produces all of Gibson’s acoustic guitars.
