Gibson Introduced the L-00 guitar to their line in 1931. It was discontinued during WWII as were many other guitar models of that era. When it was introduced it was very popular and is enjoying a resurgence today because it is a smaller body guitar and has standard X-bracing.
This plan is based on the guitars made during the early 1940's. The plans are true to the guitar produced of that era and by having a neck that joins the body at the 14th fret, and scalloped X-bracing to bring more balanced tone. If you wish to make the guitar true to historical specs, use Honduras Mahogany for the back and sides, use plastic bindings and finish with a sunburst finish.
