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.
