Drog Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have just purchased a 2005 Blues King, There is no pickup in the guitar, was this model ever released without? The strap pin looks original and no signs of any electronics that had been installed. I actually like the guitar without a pickup, am more curious. It also looks to have a mahogany back/ sides. The guitar is in mint condition and the neck is awesome. Any info on this guitar would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think the Blues king is a L00 is it not? decal on the headstock with a funny looking crown below it? a decent little guitar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer versions of the Blues King have a shallower body than the originals and the mid-1990s L-00 "Blues King." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
