A compact acoustic with timeless style and exceptional balance
Gibson has been shaping the history of small-body acoustic guitars since the early 1900s with the introduction of its L-Series models. Renowned for their articulate response and balanced tonal character, these guitars embody the perfect balance described in Gibson’s 1934 catalog. As part of the Gibson Original Collection, the L-00 Original continues that legacy, blending vintage-inspired aesthetics with the comfort, tonal balance, and rich acoustic voice that have made Gibson small-body guitars enduring favorites. It is now equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, delivering natural amplified tone while faithfully preserving the instrument’s unique character and playing dynamics.
Built with a compact body shape, the L-00 Original features a Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides. Traditional scalloped X-bracing helps enhance resonance and tonal response, while single-ply binding accents both the top and back. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the guitar’s classic appearance, complemented by lightly antiqued binding that adds to its vintage-inspired appeal.
The mahogany neck features Gibson’s comfortable SlimTaper profile and is joined to the body using a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint. A rosewood fretboard with a 12-inch radius is outfitted with 19 standard frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. At the headstock, a bone nut, Golden Age nickel tuners, and the iconic white-script Gibson logo complete the traditional visual presentation.
A rosewood closed-slot rectangle bridge anchors the strings and is fitted with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins. The guitar is further distinguished by its classic L-00 pickguard. Combined with the bone nut and saddle, Golden Age tuners, antiqued binding, and script logo, these appointments give the L-00 Original a distinctly vintage-inspired identity within the L-00 lineup.
The L-00 Original now also features the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active electronic system employs two lightweight sensors attached to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a full, natural amplified acoustic sound that accurately reflects the guitar’s voice and personality without affecting its unplugged tone. The Baggs HiFi DNA system also delivers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to that of an under-saddle pickup design. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick access for on-the-fly adjustments while remaining virtually hidden from the audience.
Combining compact dimensions, vintage-inspired craftsmanship, balanced acoustic performance, and advanced electronics, the L-00 Original celebrates Gibson’s small-body acoustic heritage while offering flexibility for today’s musicians. Ready for studio sessions and live performances alike, it ships in a hardshell case.
