The 00L-16E is the small-bodied end of the refreshed 16 Series, a sloped-shoulder 00 with a gloss spruce top in 1935 Burst over solid mahogany back and sides. Mahogany gives it punchy midrange, strong treble response and a controlled low end, which is what keeps a guitar this size sitting cleanly in a mix rather than fighting for room in it. Fingerpickers and songwriters are the obvious audience.
The short 24.9" scale takes tension off the strings and makes a difference under the left hand. Scalloped 1/4" X-bracing, a Modified Low Oval neck with the High-Performance Taper and a 1 3/4" nut, ebony fingerboard and bridge with 1955 Style 18 inlays in mother of pearl. Antique white binding, East Indian rosewood headplate, nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs. L.R. Baggs Element electronics, Plek'd at the factory, softshell case included.
