The Gibson Century Collection of acoustic guitars commemorates a solid century of Gibson magic in motion with intriguing, interesting takes on a historic model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the far-distant '30s, Gibson launched their L Series of acoustic guitars with their L-00 acoustic model. This parlor-shaped acoustic lit a fire for countless musicians for smaller-scaled acoustic to cover many, many musical modes. These L-00s featured a familiar 14-Fret neck assembly that met the fingerboard at the body at the fourteenth fret. Today's Century Collection 12-Fret breaks from the Gibson tradition for a new path for an alternative, inspirational take on classic parlor-styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson L-00 Century 12-Fret sets out familiarly to other Gibson L-00s. Kicking everything off, the model's smaller-scaled, compact L Series body assembles with a meetup of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Authentic Gibson acoustic richness moves through every pore of this L-00 body to punch well above its weight class for an authoritative voice. A satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish decks this comfortably compact shape with cream single-ply binding for a smooth geometric flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom here, this L-00 breaks out from the same-old, same-old Gibson tradition with its neck. The model's mahogany neck enters in the picture with this L-00 at the body through compound dovetail neck joint assembly with vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. A SlimTaper-profiled neck meets the parlor body at the fingerboard's twelfth fret as opposed to the traditional fourteenth. The 12-Fret neck brings the fingerboard closer to the body for a different feel in the palm and on the fingertips for something to really write home about. A rosewood fingerboard comes in here bearing nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl Dot inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gibson Century 12-Fret L-00 begins topping everything off with a suite of fine hardware appointments. First, a rectangular rosewood bridge lands at the base of the 24.75\" scale with TUSQ bridge pins and a bone saddle for a great connection and transfer of motion string-to-body. Toward the famous Gibson headstock, a bone nut and Golden Age strap tuning machines with cream buttons for easy stringing. This Gibson Century acoustic lines up with a number of aesthetic appointments like a retro-inspired pickguard and travels with an included premium Gibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter so many years in the limelight, the L-00 gets refreshed in the Gibson Century Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Century Collection 12-Fret acoustic guitar model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall-scaled L-00 parlor body shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finished Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck in SlimTaper 12-Fret profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-Fret neck with compound dovetail neck joint and hot hide glue assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fingerboard with nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone nut and Golden Age Strap tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangle rosewood bridge with bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson Acoustic","offers":[{"title":"20136047","offer_id":55470722318504,"sku":"OCSBLC12EB|||20136047","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20336053","offer_id":55470722613416,"sku":"OCSBLC12EB|||20336053","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/OCSBLC12EB-gibson-l-00-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-ebony-1_393b874c-2a86-4368-8f66-114774287f4d.png?v=1777384364","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-l-00-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-ebony","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
