Gibson L-00 Original Left-handed Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson L-00 Original Left-handed Electro Acoustic in Vintage Sunburst brings one of Gibson’s most iconic small-body designs into the modern era, now with discreet, stage-ready electronics. Compact, comfortable and incredibly expressive, it delivers the articulate response and balanced tone that made the original L-Series famous, while the Baggs HiFi DNA system captures that character naturally when you plug in.

With a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides and traditional scalloped X-bracing, this L-00 offers a focused, intimate voice that is perfect for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players and bluesy flatpickers alike. A SlimTaper mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard make it feel instantly familiar in the hand, and the classic Vintage Sunburst finish with antiqued binding gives it the unmistakable look of a golden-era Gibson.

The Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system sits at the heart of this model’s electro-acoustic capability. Using twin bridge-plate sensors and dedicated preamps, it delivers a full, natural amplified sound that closely mirrors the guitar’s acoustic voice, while soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments within easy reach. Whether you are recording, playing small clubs or stepping onto a bigger stage, the L-00 Original is built to respond dynamically to your touch.

From the bone nut and saddle to the Golden Age tuners, rosewood rectangle bridge and classic L-00 pickguard, every detail has been chosen to reinforce its vintage-inspired identity. For left-handed players who want authentic Gibson small-body tone with modern reliability and plug-in versatility, this is a characterful, inspiring instrument that feels ready for a lifetime of songs.

Vintage-inspired Small-body Tone

Gibson’s L-00 body shape, paired with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, delivers the articulate, balanced sound that defined the original L-Series. The compact body focuses the midrange, tightens the low end and keeps the highs sweet and clear, making it ideal for vocal accompaniment, recording and detailed fingerstyle work.

Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System

The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors on the internal bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp, to reproduce the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with impressive realism. You get a full, dynamic amplified tone with gain-before-feedback performance comparable to under-saddle designs, while soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you shape your sound quickly without spoiling the guitar’s clean look.

Comfortable SlimTaper Neck for Left-handed Players

The mahogany neck with Gibson’s SlimTaper profile offers a fast, comfortable feel that suits a wide range of playing styles. Combined with the 24.75-inch scale length and 12-inch radius rosewood fretboard, it makes chords, stretches and melodic lines feel easy under the fingers, giving left-handed players a genuinely player-friendly vintage-style acoustic.

Classic Gibson Aesthetic and Premium Appointments

A gloss nitrocellulose Vintage Sunburst finish, lightly antiqued binding and the white-script Gibson headstock logo give this L-00 a timeless, stage-ready look. Premium touches such as the bone nut and saddle, Golden Age nickel tuners, rosewood rectangle bridge and TUSQ bridge pins enhance tuning stability, sustain and resonance while reinforcing its traditional Gibson character.
