The Gibson Acoustic L-00 Standard acoustic guitar carries a lot of obvious tilts of the hat to the sought-after L-00s of that era. Things like the silk-screened Gibson headstock logo, vintage sunburst finish, V-shaped neck profile, and vintage-style tuning keys. But one of the most important additions to this model is a bit more hidden. The L-00 Standard is constructed with hide glue, just like the originals. Often considered a superior, and better sounding method, the hide glue construction on the bracing ensures the guitar sings like a true classic.

One of the calling cards of the original L-00 acoustic guitars is the beautiful and straight-forward sunburst finish. Because the first L-00s were meant to be inexpensive guitars, they don't carry a lot the ornamentation of some of their higher-priced siblings. Because of that, the simple sunburst finish has become a recognizable and desired finish on these gems. The Gibson Acoustic L-00 Standard's finish radiates this same look, so your ears and hands aren't the only things feeling right at home on a vintage-style instrument.

The Gibson Acoustic L-00 Standard comes with LR Baggs's popular Element Active VTC acoustic pickup system, a popular choice among Sweetwater's acoustic guitarists. This system features a low-profile under-saddle transducer that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and removable volume control, mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element gives your Gibson Acoustic L-00 Standard the amplification you need, with zero compromises for tone or convenience.
