This is a particularly special L-00, combining the compact, comfortable 12-fret design with the richer, more complex voice of solid rosewood back and sides. Gibson describes the rosewood version as offering deep resonance, sparkling treble, strong projection, and excellent tonal balance.

Compared with the new Gibson L-00 Century 12-Fret, which has a mahogany body and satin finish, this Rosewood model features solid rosewood back and sides, a gloss nitrocellulose finish, gold Grover open-back tuners, and L.R. Baggs VTC electronics.

The L.R. Baggs VTC pickup and sound hole-mounted volume and tone controls make it ready to plug in and gig, while acoustically it has the depth, clarity, and complex overtones you would expect from rosewood.

Highlights:

• Excellent condition
• Solid rosewood back and sides
• Solid Sitka spruce top
• 12-fret L-00 body
• Beautiful Rosewood Burst gloss finish
• L.R. Baggs VTC pickup/preamp
• Gold Grover open-back tuners
• Original Gibson hardshell case
• Rich, resonant and highly responsive fingerstyle voice

A significant step up in materials and appointments from the new Century mahogany model, while retaining the wonderful 12-fret L-00 design.

This is an outstanding example of one of Gibson's finest modern small-body acoustics. It plays effortlessly, delivers a rich, balanced voice both acoustically and plugged in, and is ready for its next owner.

According to Gibson's production history, 2025 was the final year the L-00 Rosewood 12-Fret in Rosewood Burst was offered, making these guitars increasingly scarce and desirable among both players and collectors.
