1932 to 1946

The Gibson HG-00 (introduced in 1932) was an L-00 style guitar but with a 1-7/8 inches wide neck. This extra width was becuase the HG-00 was supposed to be played Hawaiian style with a slide - the HG-00 also had a high bone nut for this reason. Despite the Hawaiian setup the HG-00 had a normal curved fingerboard and regular frets, so you simply have to reduce the nut height and they can be played in standard Spanish style. Only around 625 were made and the HG-00 was discontinued in 1946.
