{"product_id":"gibson-l00-standard-vintage-sunburst","title":"Gibson L00 Standard - Vintage Sunburst","description":"First introduced in 1932, the Gibson L-00 helped shape the voice of Depression-era blues and remains one of the company's most celebrated small-body acoustics. Well suited for fingerstyle techniques, folk music, and beyond, the L-00 Standard honours the legacy of those early instruments while incorporating the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system. Designed to deliver a natural amplified sound, the system preserves the guitar's individual sonic personality while accurately conveying every detail of a player's performance. Despite its compact dimensions, the L-00 Standard offers remarkable projection and balance that rival many larger-bodied acoustic guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts compact parlor-style body provides a comfortable playing experience and a smaller footprint than a dreadnought model like the J-45™. A narrower waist helps produce a focused, articulate voice with controlled low-end response, making it easy to place in a mix. The guitar's quick response makes it a natural choice for fingerstyle and blues players while remaining adaptable across a wide variety of musical styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe L-00 Standard features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides. Traditional scalloped X-bracing helps maximize resonance while contributing to the instrument's balanced tonal character and broad dynamic range. Single-ply binding accents the top and back, while the hand-sprayed Vintage Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar the timeless look associated with classic Gibson acoustics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts mahogany neck is carved to Gibson's comfortable SlimTaper™ profile and topped with a rosewood fretboard featuring a 12-inch radius, 19 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. A closed-slot rectangular rosewood bridge is fitted with a TUSQ® saddle and bridge pins, while Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners provide reliable tuning stability and smooth, precise adjustment. A traditional L-00 pickguard completes the model's iconic appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe L-00 Standard is equipped with the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active electronics package utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The system delivers a rich, natural amplified acoustic tone that faithfully reflects the instrument's unique character without affecting its unplugged sound, with gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick access to adjustments during performance. Ready for both stage and studio applications, it ships in a hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eShape: Small Body\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Single-ply Top and Back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eProfile: SlimTaper\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 628.65 mm\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Mother of Pearl Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Rectangle, closed slot\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Grover Mini Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eAcoustic Pickup: Baggs HiFi DNA\u003cbr\u003eControls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896916410610,"sku":"BM711106245904","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6363\/5698\/files\/MCSBL0HFVS_1.png?v=1793064285","url":"https:\/\/www.bettermusic.com.au\/products\/gibson-l00-standard-vintage-sunburst","provider":"Better Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
