Gibson L-00 Black 1938

The following specs were carefully collected and recorded by a skilled technician. For a more detailed description and questions regarding sound, feel, or cosmetic condition, please call to speak to one of our experts.

Summary

Finish: Original black finish.

Body Material: Maple

Top Material: Spruce

Neck Material: Mahogany

Neck Profile: U

Neck Thickness (IN): 1st fret - 1.010"/ 10th fret - 1.130"

Fingerboard Radius: 16.00"

Nut Width: 1-3/4"

Scale Length: 25

Hardware: The fretboard, nut, saddle, and bridge pins have been replaced.

Weight: 3 lbs 7 oz

Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Gibson L-00 is nicely aged and worn. The finish shows heavy aging with scratches, checking, fading, and dings throughout. Multiple crack repairs are visible. A hole has been drilled into the back of the neck heel. The finish has faded near the pickguard and on the back of the neck near the headstock. The "G" tuner is heavily bent. "Merle Haggard" has been scratched onto the back.

Modifications/Repairs: The fretboard, nut, saddle, and bridge pins have been replaced. There are multiple crack repairs visible; one on the top bass side lower bout, one on the back treble side lower bout, one on the top below the bridge, and several on both sides of the guitar. All of these repairs are stable and are not impacting playability.

Serial Number: N/A

Tech Notes: This guitar plays well with medium-low action. The frets are tall with light play wear. Because the guitar has binding on the back of the body and is painted black, we are dating it to 1938. The black finish was discontinued in 1938. The factory order number is not fully visible.

Case Details: Hardshell Case
