Tim G Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Good morning, I wanted to put this out here and see if someone could give me an estimated value for this guitar. For me it appears to be some kind of a vintage reissue l-00 I bought it yesterday off of craigslist for $1200 (their asking price was 1400), i don't plan on selling it but i'd like to know if got a good deal or paid too much for it. For me it looks like the real deal it has the gibson papers with it. Let me know what you think. Thank you.
sparquelito Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 That's a good price for a mint condition Gibson L-00. Is she a 2017 model? :)

ratherbwalkn Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Pics dont show much, but what you can see it looks very nice. Dont know Gibson values, cant offer an opinion on that....
Dave F Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 A steal with that redline case. They were listed pretty high and sold north of 3K when new.
Tim G Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 A steal with that redline case. They were listed pretty high and sold north of 3K when new. Wow! That's good to hear. I'm not a collector so i was afraid i may have paid too much. Thanks everyone for your input! I'm new to this whole forum thing but will definately be checking this out on a regular basis!

Lars68 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 That looks like an L-00 Legend to me. All Legend series guitars came with Redline cases. If so, that price is nothing short of a steal. The lack of an interior label is consistent with the Legend guitars. Lars
Dave F Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I have a 1932 (or 34) L00 Reissue that looks just like that

The lack of an interior label is consistent with the Legend guitars. Lars You can't necessarily tell a Legend by the appearance. There were several high-end L-OO variations in the last few years that are similar in appearance and specifications to the Legend, but not identical. Some came with redline cases as well. The Legend is as all hide-glue guitar with fabric side stays, etc. This may or may not be the same specification as some of these other very high-spec L-OO variants. Any way you look at it, however, this Craig's list find was a steal.
jedzep Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 As we used to say at Harvard, 'you dun' good'. Welcome back, Nick. I can't believe you put the NO J45 down long enough to type out a response.

I can't believe you put the NO J45 down long enough to type out a response. The new old girl is headed to the guitar doc in about a week for some work under the hood. She is a sweetheart now, but will be better once she's a bit easier to play.
Dave F Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 i believe it's a 2015 is what the person told me. Mine is a 2014. Look at the ink stamp inside the guitar on the neck block. The 1st and 4th number is the year. My s/n is 1nnn4nnn
Red 333 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Lovely guitar and a GREAT deal. I hope it gives you years of enjoyment! Red 333
