Gibson / L-0 / 1937 / Black Finish / Guitar

Gibson L-0 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1937), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan

The L-0 and L-00 guitars have generally been and still are, Gibson's most popular Depression era flat tops. These two models are often confused with each other. The L-0 was originally discontinued in the early 1930s in favor of the L-00, but the model re-appeared in 1937, the year this well-loved and well-played guitar was made.

The FON on the neck block is hard to read, but the batch number ends with C (= 1937) and is followed by the sequence number (38), which is clearly visible and written in red.

The finish is solid black overall, the trademark of the 1937-42 L-0. The finish of the top shows cool checking with some general wear with dings and scratches.

There is single-ply white celluloid binding around the body edges (top and back) and a simple 3-ply soundhole ring.

14.75 inch body.

The top is made of spruce and is ornamented with a beautiful "firestripe" tortoise celluloid pickguard.

Mahogany back and sides . The sides and bottom have cracks that have been professionally repaired (cleated).

The neck has a fairly shallow "V" profile neck with an unbound, dot inlaid rosewood fingerboard.

The guitar had a neck reset , so the action is low. The frets are in good condition. Probably the guitar had a refret at some point in the past.

The headstock carries a white stenciled "Gibson" logo on the face.

Original non-pinned rosewood bridge.

The guitar sounds great both finger- and flat-picked, with a powerful ringing tone, making it an excellent player !

Travels in a nice modern HSC.
