| Post subject: | My L-00 |
Hey guys, here's a few shots of my L-00 that I strung up a few days ago. It has a Adirondack top and curley Honduran mahogany back and sides from Uncle Bob Zootman. The adi bracewood came from Steve at Colonial. And it has lots of Brazilian trim..... Fingerboard,Bridge,bridge pins,rosette,binding,top purfling,and all the other brown parts. It is a very comfortable shape to play and has surprising volume for a small bodied guitar. I built this one for myself and so far I really like it.

Very nice Dave!!! Couple of quick questions. Did you use a set of plans for the L-00? Did you use a 24.75" scale? My next guitar (assumming I finish my first  ) will be a L-00.Thx! Glenn |

Thanks guys! Glenn, I drew my own plans with this one and used the Martin 24.9 scale. The GAL sells plans for the 37' Gibson L-00 Hey,Good Luck with your L-00. They are very cool guitars . |

Really nice Dave. I love the little ones. Glad it didn't fall in the water. Is that a nitro finish? Terry |

Looks great, Dave! How's the sound ? Is it "modern" or does it have the bark of an old L-00? |

Dang!!!! Beautiful guitar Dave. Hope I charged enough for that Adi top and b/s set.  I really like the L-00's and yours looks fantastic. Can I snag some of the pic's?

Dang Don ! Thats a triple  Thanks Bob- Sure, snag em  Thanks for the nice wood as usual Zootman.Pat- It does have some of the old snarl but well rounded. Kind of punchy and clear and loud. I like how its shape sets in your lap very comfortable. |

That's very classy. An L-00 is also on my list...if I ever get around to going over to steel strings. |
