Gibson L-00 Special Satin Ebony

Compact Gibson Tone With Big Character!

The Gibson L-00 Special brings the legendary small-body sound into a modern, road-ready package and offers you a USA-made steel-string acoustic with direct response, balanced tone, and superb playability.

Classic Small-Body Construction

Since the 1930s the L-00 has stood for a focused, nuanced acoustic voice with quick response and clear articulation. The more compact body shape with a narrower waist delivers tight bass, present mids and controlled dynamics—particularly convincing for fingerstyle, blues, folk and songwriting. At the same time the sound remains versatile enough to perform confidently across many other styles.

Solid Tonewoods for Lively Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top works together with a solid mahogany back and sides to produce a warm, open fundamental character with strong projection and fine detail. The traditional scalloped X-bracing supports quick response and a lively tonal development. The instrument reacts sensitively to your attack, rendering both delicate passages and robust strumming cleanly.

Comfortable Neck and Familiar Playing Feel

The Utile neck with a SlimTaper profile fits comfortably in the hand, enabling smooth position shifts and a relaxed grip across the entire fingerboard. The rosewood fingerboard with a 12" (305 mm) radius offers a balanced blend of traditional feel and modern playability. 19 frets and simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays underline the classic style of this model.

Practical Features for Stage and Studio

The rectangular rosewood bridge is fitted with a TUSQ saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also made from TUSQ. This supports clean intonation and stable transfer of vibration. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners provide reliable tuning stability and precise tuning. Thanks to the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze undersaddle pickup with active preamp and soundhole volume control, the guitar is ready for recording, rehearsal and live use. The included high-quality soft case protects the instrument on the way to rehearsals, the studio or the stage.
