An industry leader in its class, the 09 Artist Series is one of the longest standing models in our catalog.

The 09 is the genesis of Jean's 'recipe', reached perfection with the first L09 originally built in the '70s.  40 years later, not much has changed.  A perfect combination of East Indian Rosewood back and sides, Sitka spruce top, and powered by Jean's legendary X-Brace system. The 09 Series delivers a powerful, yet balanced, dynamic range.

Whether in the studio or live, flat-picking or strumming, this true American workhorse offers all the response and the tone you will need. Standard features include JCL 18:1 tuners, flamed maple trim, and abalone rosette.
