[update: found a 2016 L-00 on reverb; thanks to Colin for reaching out though]

I snoozed and lose’d a while back when AlbertC was selling one for a great price. 

Can’t decide if I should bite the bullet and buy a new one from Anderton’s @£2100 (amazing sale price, but still a lot of cash), or hold out for a better deal on a used guitar. 

Option 3 is to find out if any UK luthiers are making L-00 style guitar. Lots of luthiers making 000s, 0Ms etc, but the sound of the L-00 is really what I’m jonzeing for. Nothing sounds quite like it, as far as I can tell from listening to demos.

Preferably a burst, but I might consider natural. 

If anyone’s selling one or knows about a high quality copy I could buy, let me know.

I’m in London area. 

Thanks.

Even better if you could find someone selling a Waterloo WL-14X.

I would seriously consider either an atkin, JWJ or meyrick if looking at  uk builders. My brother recently bought an L-00 and it's a cracker. If it were me I'd sit tight and buy a gibson second hand
