BluesKing777 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Well, there you go - exactly what I wanted when I bought the Blues King as a sub all those years back! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have played one. It's VERY light. Of all of the L-00 reissues that I have played, this one sounds the closest to my 32 L-00. very lightly built and has THAT sound. the only complaint about it vs an original is that this one doesn't have a large neck. it's the smaller more modern neck that you find on most standard series Gibsons.

Dave F Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I recently got one of the 1932 L-00 RI. It's sunburst instead of Ebony. If you reference the neck profile shapes on one of the other recent threads, this on has the 50's Hard V shape but is .960" thick like the chunky baseball bats at the first fret so I guess this one would be called a "Baseball Bat Chunky Hard V". A luthier friend of mine that is currently building a small lot of L00's and is a nut for these guitars said Gibson nailed it on the one I have and it has THE SOUND. Me? I can't tell the difference or have an ear for THE SOUND, whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretplay Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Is this just a poor mans version of the CJ165? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
