Epiphone L-00 Standard, Vintage Sunburst

Gibson was a pioneer in the development of small body guitars at the beginning of the 1900s with its L-Series small body acoustic guitars. The Gibson L-00 was developed in the early 1930s and has been an industry standard small-bodied guitar for decades. These smaller Gibsons deliver a tonality that is best described in Gibson’s 1934 catalog as a sound of “perfect balance.”

The smaller-bodied L-Series guitars, often referred to as parlour guitars since they were frequently played in living/sitting rooms or “parlours” of homes, have remained popular ever since.
