The Gibson Blues King combines the classic L-series design from the early 1900s with modern features to meet today's high standards. Known for their popularity amongst blues and roots guitarists, Gibson's L-series flat-tops have inspired generations of musicians. The Blues King continues this tradition with a slightly shallower body depth and new Gibson Modern Classic enhancements.
The Blues King is equipped with Grover's original Rotomatic tuners, which offer precision tuning with a 14:1 gear ratio. These tuners ensure maximum protection and stability, preventing slippage and allowing for adjustable tension. The internal lubricant provides smooth and accurate tuning, making it ideal for demanding performances.
The tortoise pickguard on the Blues King is hand-crafted, echoing the style of early 1900s L-00s. The attention to detail extends to the hand-made rosette around the soundhole, which features a three-ply binding for a touch of understated elegance.
The fingerboard is made from the highest grade rosewood, personally inspected by Gibson's experts. This durable wood ensures a balanced and stable fingerboard, delivering clear and precise tones. The mother-of-pearl dot inlays are set into the fingerboard without gaps, and the rolled edges provide a comfortable, smooth playing experience.
Constructed with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the Blues King offers a warm, woody midrange and a balanced tone. It features the Element Active Acoustic Pickup System from L.R. Baggs, providing a robust and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics. The hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing enhances sound projection, drawing from the bracing patterns of Gibson's celebrated L-00 guitars of the 1920s and 1930s. This makes the Blues King a versatile instrument, perfect for today's blues and roots musicians.
