Among the most rare incarnations of the large-body L-0, the elevated fingerboard 14 fret models we're built only for a short while in 1932, by our best approximation. The elevated fingerboard changes the direction of string-pull on the bridge quite significantly, making these instruments sonically quite different than those with standard fingerboard extensions.

A completely beguiling guitar, this L-0 has all the complexity, darkness, and light-guitar resonance you'd hope to find in an early 1930's Gibson L flat top, but with a freshness, life, and spring that so many of these lack. We feel it has to do with the angle of pull of the strings on the bridge, and the perfect condition of the top's bracing and arch. Whatever the cause, this guitar is a winner in our books, and a thoroughly exciting offering.
