The Gibson Century Collection of acoustic guitars celebrates a solid hundred years of Gibson magic at work with interesting takes on historic guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWay back in the 1930s, Gibson kicked off their line of L Series acoustic guitars, one of which being their L-00. The parlor-sized acoustic fired up countless musicians with its smaller-scaled acoustic body covering so many musical bases. These L-00s featured a comfortable parlor body and a 14-Fret neck that met the fingerboard at the body at the fourteenth fret. Today's Century Collection 12-Fret takes an alternate route from Gibson tradition for a new path with alternative, inspirational takes on classic small-bodied acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gibson L-00 Century 12-Fret sets off in a familiar way to other Gibson L-00s of generation past. For a comfortable feel under the arm and a robust sonic palette, the model's smaller-scaled, compact L Series body introduces a meetup of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Authentic Gibson acoustic richness breathes through the model's whole form to punch above its weight class with a formidable voice. A satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish wraps this model's body along with cream single-ply binding for a cool geometric flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point, this L-00 bends from the usual narrative with its neck assembly. The model's mahogany neck joins in in the picture with the L-00 through compound dovetail neck joint assembly with vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. A SlimTaper profile neck meets the 00-style 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 new feel in the palm and on the fingers for a new angle on classic 00-style playability. A rosewood fingerboard enters bearing nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl Dot inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson Century 12-Fret L-00 starts wrapping everything up with a lineup of fine hardware appointments. First, a rectangle rosewood bridge lands at the base of the 24.75\" scale with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins for a great connection and transfer motion string-to-body. Towards the famous Gibson headstock, a bone nut and Golden Age strap tuning machines with cream buttons for smooth stringing. This Gibson Century acoustic lines up an array of fine aesthetic appointments like a retro-inspired pickguard as it travels with an included premium Gibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its time and ours, the L-00 is a legendary model for 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":"Default Title","offer_id":55451821867176,"sku":"OCSBLC12VS","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/OCSBLC12VS-gibson-l-00-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-vintage-sunburst-1.png?v=1777042857","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-l-00-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-vintage-sunburst","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
