From August through December of 2011, my family and I traveled around the world on Semester at Sea's Fall 2011 Voyage. During that time, this blog was devoted to photographic endeavors in 14 countries over those 111 days, though we are now back to reality after an amazing adventure!

1926 Gibson L-0 Acoustic Guitar
Some images of a vintage acoustic guitar, similar to one that delta bluesman Robert Johnson may have played (certainly was photographed with) prior to his untimely death at an early age. This is a set of more 'clinical' photographs detailing the depression-era craftsmanship of Gibson's relatively 'entry level' guitar.

These are fine photographs of an iconic Gibson Flattop. Norman Blake also favours the L0 in fact he has a couple, a 12 fret and a 14 fret. I nearly bought a Bozeman signature Robert Johnson L0 recently but to be honest I am not sure I wanted a guitar with a signature on it.
ReplyDeleteI ended up buying the Gibson LG2 3/4 Arlo Guthrie 3/4 size guitar which works really well with my incapacity, 4 strokes 25 years ago, and I am newly back to playing
Glad you enjoyed the images, Kenneth. Good to hear you're getting back to playing!
