amp Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Just in time for my birthday last week we got a delivery from UPS -- my new L-00 Legend. And she is a beauty. We saw an L-00 Legend when we were at Homecoming last June. It was hard to walk away from. Trouble is, I needed it turned upside-down to play left-handed. Paul from Music Villa checked and Ren said he'd build a lefty, just for me -- pick out the wood, carve the braces, etc. How could I turn down a deal like that? The Gibson folks in Bozeman are terrific! It was a bit of a wait but I think it was worth it. He picked the most beautiful flamed mahogany for the back and everything about it is just about perfect. And the sound is amazing for a small body guitar. I've already bonded with it completely. -- Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amp Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 While we were at it, we decided to take an L-00-size family portrait. On the left is my 100+-year-old Washburn with Adirondack top and Brazilian rosewood sides and back. In the center is my new L-00 Legend (Adi/Hog). On the right, my lovely vanilla-wafer-'burst Collings C-10 (also Adi/Hog). All three, despite having the same body type, sound extremely different. The Washburn is almost indescribable, the sound is loud and clear and very sweet with just a little funky twist. The L-00 Legend is dark and strong with a really good "Gibson" kind of sound to it. The Collings is light and clear and softer than the others. I think I might just have the best three guitars in the world. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarstrummer Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 She already told you where she ordered hers from and you were told how to do it in your "Gibson Blues King lefty" thread. If you need a phone number or website address for Music Villa, send me a PM and I'll be glad to give it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
