Description
 

Combining the responsive bass and quick blues-y decay the L-00 small body is known for with the resonance and volume of a Solid Adirondack Spruce top is a match made in guitar heaven.

We've built this ultralight L-00 as an homage to 90 year old instruments, and the final result is a vintage enthusiast's dream at an equally dreamy price. The thin V vintage neck profile is comfortable for so many playing styles, and the sunburst and top-bound guitar (no back binding) capture the style of the era.

Unique black button Klusons finish the look, and the bone nut and saddle and D'Addario strings make the LO-18-VS a charmer right out of the case.

5 of 5 Great guitar for roots/blues music! December 27, 2013
Reviewer: BG from Providence, RI United States  
I've wanted a 00 guitar to learn fingerpicking on. I can't put this little machine down.

The 1 3/4 nut width is perfect. Not too wide. Not a sharp fret in the bunch. Intonation seems good. The body seems like a good depth.

The top finish is a little thick with a tiny bit of overspray. The inside is clean, but it smells like wood glue. Hopefully that will go away over time. The mahogany back and sides are beautiful.

Great tone for picking and strumming. It has a very rootsy/bluesy sound. I'm not sure I'd even notice if it were solid or laminate (but I haven't heard a solid L-00 in person).

If you like Steve Earle it sounds like him and those types of records. Very balanced tone. For picking, the '28 John Hurt album is a good guide. An RI songwriter Joe Fletcher plays the LO16. YouTube him. He hammers on his, tours the USA and it still sounds/looks great.

BTW: Instrument Alley did an excellent job Fast shipping with a hard case all for around $400. Great deal!
