{"product_id":"gibson-l-00-century-12-fret-ebony","title":"Gibson L-00 Century 12-Fret - Ebony","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIf the J-45 Century 12-Fret is the Workhorse celebrating its centennial, the L-00 Century 12-Fret is its more intimate, more contemplative sibling — a parlor guitar reaching back to the very earliest chapter of the Gibson flat-top story. First introduced in the early 1930s and celebrated in Gibson's own 1934 catalog for offering a tone of \"perfect balance,\" the L-00 has always occupied a uniquely personal space in the acoustic universe: small enough to feel like an extension of the body, resonant enough to fill a room with a voice that is warm, articulate, and deeply responsive to the nuances of the player's touch. The Century 12-Fret edition brings the same meaningful neck joint shift that defines its larger sibling — moving from 14-fret to 12-fret connection, repositioning the bridge plate into the most resonant zone of the spruce top, and allowing the soundboard to breathe and work with a freedom that 14-fret construction simply cannot match. The result is a livelier, more openly resonant parlor voice that responds especially beautifully to fingerstyle technique and lighter, more nuanced playing dynamics — exactly the qualities the L-00 has always been celebrated for, now unlocked more completely than ever. Finished in ebony satin nitrocellulose lacquer, this L-00 wears its character with a quiet, dramatic confidence — matte black over mahogany and spruce, single-ply cream binding tracing every edge, a guitar that looks as distinctive as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEvery vintage-inspired detail reinforces the Century Collection's commitment to honoring the original spirit of the Gibson flat-top tradition. The mahogany body and Sitka spruce top are joined by a SlimTaper™ 12-Fret neck with compound dovetail and hot hide glue construction — period-correct in approach, exceptional in execution. Golden Age Strap tuners, an early-1900s-style Gibson script logo in silkscreen, and the sloped-rectangle closed-slot rosewood bridge echo the visual language of the pre-war instruments that established the L-00's legacy before most players alive today were born. A bone nut and saddle, TUSQ® bridge pins, and cream L-00-style pickguard complete a guitar that is cohesive, intentional, and utterly faithful to its origins. Shipped in a premium hardshell case, the L-00 Century 12-Fret in Ebony is the Interstellar Tone Traveler's invitation to rediscover what a truly great small-body acoustic feels like in the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL-00 12 Fret \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Back\/Sides:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Top:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sitka Spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e L-00 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Traditional Hand Scalloped X-Bracing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Single-Ply Top, Single-Play Back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Mother of Pearl Dots \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bone, 1.72\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Slim Taper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 24.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  19 (Standard)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fully Adjustable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Compound Dovetail to Body \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gibson Logo Silkscreen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rectangle, Rosewood \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e L-00 Cream\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Black \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuner Plating:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Tusq\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaddle Material:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Golden Age Strap \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e .012. .016, .024, .032, .042, .053\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hardshell Case \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52419350888632,"sku":"OCSBLC12EB","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Gibson20376012_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1777402334","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/gibson-l-00-century-12-fret-ebony","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
