Epiphone L-00 Studio 2022 Vintage Sunburst

This second hand guitar is in great condition

The Epiphone L-00 Studio is a compact acoustic-electric guitar that pays homage to the classic Gibson L-00, offering a blend of vintage aesthetics and modern playability. Its smaller "parlor" body shape, solid spruce top, and mahogany back and sides contribute to its warm, focused tone, making it a favorite among blues and fingerstyle players.

Design & Build Quality

The L-00 Studio features a solid spruce top paired with select mahogany back and sides, delivering a rich, resonant sound that improves with age. The mahogany neck has a SlimTaper D profile, offering comfortable playability, especially for those with smaller hands. The laurel fingerboard with a 12" radius and 19 medium jumbo frets ensures smooth navigation across the fretboard. Aesthetically, the guitar boasts a Vintage Sunburst finish, tortoise-shell style pickguard with a metal "E," and nickel hardware, capturing a timeless look.

Sound & Electronics

Tonally, the L-00 Studio produces a balanced, woody sound with clear mids and trebles, characteristic of its parlor size. While its smaller body limits low-end projection compared to larger acoustics, it excels in delivering articulate tones suitable for fingerpicking and blues styles.

Equipped with a Fishman Sonitone preamp and Sonicore under-saddle pickup, the guitar offers reliable amplified performance. Controls for volume and tone are discreetly mounted inside the soundhole, preserving the guitar's classic appearance. Though the electronics are considered mid-range, they provide a faithful representation of the guitar's natural tone when plugged in.
