Gibson L-Series Small Body Guitars
January 28, 1999 Gibson pioneered the development of small body guitars at the beginning of
the 1900s with models like the L-1 and L-00. In 1928, Gibson created the world's
very first artist model, the Nick Lucas Special. Gibson enhanced this small
body acoustic by designing the Nick Lucas with added body depth for increased
tonal projection and bottom end.
In 1999, Gibson makes a leap forward in creating a modified small body with
great tone and dynamic range. This "Advanced 00" body design has been
incorporated into four of the six new L-Series models; The Working Musician
00, L-130, L-140, and L-150 Custom.
