Description

This 1931 Gibson L-00 12-Fret is a rare and early example of Gibson’s classic small-body flat-top. With its 12-fret neck joint, and lightweight build, it has a warm, open voice full of character—perfect for fingerstyle or light flatpicking. The spruce top and mahogany back and sides have aged beautifully, giving it a dry, woody tone with great clarity and sustain. A real pre-war gem with vintage vibe and outstanding tone. For the full repair history, check out the specs tab. Includes an Calton hardshell case with a dust cover.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
