Maple L 00's

[JuanCarlosVejar]

Folks,

 

has bozeman ever done a run of L00's on maple ?

 

 

has anyone experienced a maple L00 ?

 

I've heard and seen a lot of L centurys but let's remember those have the perloid so it wouldn't be the same as a maple L 00 .

 

 

 

 

 

thanks

Most of the maple L00s you'll see are deep body - i.e. Nick Lucas. I have one built by Kevin Kopp and I think the maple balances off the deep body better than the mahogany Nick Lucas or the mahogany SCGC H13 that I used to own.

 

Not sure a standard depth L00 in maple would work.

'Hoss', who used to post here, and does so occasionally on UMGF, has a custom-built Gibson maple L-00 that he loves.

Add a bit of MOTS, inlay some pearl diamonds into rectangles of Brazilian rosewood, and that maple L-00 turns into one of my all-time favorites;

 

 

This is my 1936 L-century, which had its star turn a few years ago:

JC not a gibson but as mentioned before the Kopp L02 is magnificent.
