From Our Research Team:

The Blues Legend Is Back

Here's a true Blues legend! The EL-00 Parlor Acoustic from Epiphone brings back that famous L-00 body shape from the 1930s and 1940s, the one so many players have fallen in love with its shorter scale, super-comfortable size, and undeniably huge tone. Although the size was discontinued in 1945, it continued to gain superstardom status. And here, with the Epiphone EL-00 Parlor Acoustic, you can be a part of a new generation of L-00 players. This beauty is an astounding value. You get an solid spruce top and a mahogany body, a proven combination for rich tone. Factor in other touches, including the deluxe pickguard with the metal "E" logo and you've got a guitar that looks - and sounds - amazing. You just can't go wrong with the Epiphone EL-00.

My EL-00

by Curt from Quad Cities USA
May 1, 2012
Music Background: Country blues/rock, americana and worship music. Been playing since the early 60s.
Yes I am blown away by this little guitar.
I own a Gibson J-180 and a 1974 Aria Jumbo western and I needed a grab and play guitar and saw this little guitar on Youtube. After reading reviews a... read more [+]nd watching a few videos I ordered ordered one along with the (equally as impressive) case .
It plays and sounds great right out of the box and the EL-00 has that vintage 30's blues box look.
I could go on, but get your own, you won't regret it! close [-]

A GREAT VALUE and my go - to grab and play

by Preston Stedman from sonoma county CA
December 11, 2010
Music Background: " parlor player " just for the fun of makin' music
A very good friend has an original pre war Gibson L00 which I love. , Gibson offers a Custom Shop for 6K and vintage ones fetch between 4K and 5K , so when I saw this guitar , I gave it a shot.... read more [+] /> Was I surprised.
The workmanship is pretty good for the price point and the sound really surprised me.
The smaller size is a plus for those who can't get comfy with a drednaught.
Still looking for an "affordable " Gibson L00 , but this guitar is a keeper ! close [-]

Just What I Wanted

by Kevin from Tucson
June 18, 2012
Music Background: 3 chords in the kitchen
I play a 60's era Epiphone Cortez and wanted something inexpensive for traveling. Though the tone isn't as seasoned or complex as the Cortez, I like everything about the EL-00. Very comfortable neck,... read more [+] especially for short hands, light weight, and plenty loud enough for a jam session. I ordered it with the TUSQ nut, but found the tone really improved when I installed a bone saddle and switched to medium-light strings. The sunburst is beautifully done, and overall it looks and feels like a much more expensive guitar. Just a great, everyday player. close [-]

I don't think it's possible for Sweetwater NOT to do a good job. You simply never fail your customers. You have very low prices, amazing products, and even more amazing service. What's even more amazing is that you're very consistent on all three!
