Gibson | L6-S Custom

The Gibson L6S is a fringe classic from the 70s. It was designed by Bill Lawrence back when he was doing his best work with no budget. It is supposed to be an everyday version of the old Gibson L5s jazz-box. It was endorsed by many of the big players at the time and pretty popular. I believe this is the first time it is being reissued and there are some minor differences that probably make the guitar more favorable for a lot of people. This Gibson has the crazy 70s all maple construction.

The fretboard is maple as well with 24 frets. It was one of the first Gibsons to have 24 frets. Up top you get standard Grover tuners with a standard tune-o-matic bridge. The switching is what makes this model cool and different from the originals. The originals had some crazy switching with phase and series in and out craziness. This guitar takes all that and replaces it with more usable switching. The 6 way chicken-head knob on this guitar gives you every option of humbucker and single coil with both of the pickups. The rest of the controls are a master volume with a tone control for each pickup.
