Gibson L-OO Studio Rosewood with Hardcase

The Gibson L-00 Studio Rosewood is a modern take on the classic small-bodied L-00 design, distinguishing itself from the standard L-00 by utilizing rosewood for the back and sides instead of the traditional mahogany. This tonewood choice gives the guitar a distinct voice, known for enhanced warmth, deeper bass, and sparkling highs.

The L-00 Studio Rosewood is an acoustic-electric model and is built in the USA. It typically includes a Gibson Hardshell Case.
