The Best for the Blues
I love playing acoustic blues and if I could I'd get an original L-1 but this is about as close as you're going to get. The sound and playability of this guitar is just outstanding. If you're on the fence, get off it and grab one. You won't play a better acoustic. Couldn't be happier with this guitar.
Very nice, easy player
I've been looking for a long-term keeper of a couch/porch/parlor player like this for many years. My standard was set far too high long ago by being in close proximity for a time to an actual 19th century Martin parlor -- a guitar with so much charisma and charm that no one could keep their hands off of it. I've been looking for something comparable without the unbearable preciousness… read more of that guitar ever since. The L-00 is NOT that guitar.... BUT it's a very comfortable, extremely well-executed revision of another classic small-body acoustic and I am glad I took a chance on it. My L-00 came perfectly set up and plays like a dream. It stays solidly in tune, with great feel and pitch all the way up the neck. I find myself picking it up whenever I have a moment -- even though it's not 120 years old, it has a charm of its own and I love it. Tone-wise, its voice is clear and modestly bright, but perhaps on the reserved side in terms of harmonic complexity, i.e. it doesn't deliver a rich tapestry of multi-layered overtones. And it won't hold up flat-picking in a moderately high-volume jam against a couple of dreadnoughts -- it'll bottom out under heavy strumming. However, that's not the assignment one gives to a guitar like this, and its simplicity of tone and harmonic response is easily made up for in the satisfaction of how easy it is to make music with it. Overall really, really fun and satisfying to play, looks and sounds great, and feels good to know its a well-made instrument that should get better with age. I'll be keeping it for a long time.
In search of tone
One of the best sounding (and looking) guitars I have ever owned. Whether it is overpriced that remain s to be seen. In my research the L-00 are well made through the decades and have outlasted many equally priced instruments in tone and style. I purchased this guitar for the long haul. I believe it was the perfect decision. Thanks Sweetwater for the choice
