Gibson L6-S # Natural 1974 Excellent Sound in Almost Original Condition w Origin

  

Gibson L6-S # Natural 1974 Excellent Sound in Almost Original Condition w Original Hard Case 3.65kg. The L series has a particularly long history among Gibson's products, dating back to 1902.

Initially, it was a lineup of acoustic models, and the L-5 was announced as the top model along with the Super400. In 1951, the PU-equipped L-5CES was announced, and in 1972, the solid version of the L-5CES, the L-5S, was announced. The following year, in 1973, the L6-S was created by Bill Lawrence and LarryDiMarzio, and later the L-6S was born. There is a theory that the model name is a successor model of L-5S, L (Lawrence), 6 6PositionControl, and S (Solid Guitar).

In 1975, the model name was changed to L-6SCustom, but it is said that this was done to differentiate it from the low-priced model L-6SDeluxe, while keeping the specifications the same. This time we will be introducing the L6-S with a natural finish, which is popular among the solid L series. One that is widely recognized as being used by Santana and Paul Stanley of KISS.

This item, along with the L6-S designation from the early release, is also highly original, and is a superb piece with its unique mechanism, excellent modern sound, and a unique vintage sound. First of all, this spec is a set neck structure that is made of all maple wood material, maple body, maple neck, maple fingerboard. You can also see the marbled grain on the body, indicating that high-quality materials were selected.

The neck is medium scale with 24 frets, a first for Gibson at the time. The bridge is equipped with a wide travel bridge, and it not only has excellent octave tuning range, but also features rich sustain due to its weight.

Paul Stanley also seemed to like this bridge, and after using the L-6S in the early days of KISS, he used various guitars, and there is an anecdote that it was often incorporated into the specifications. Although the pegs are replacement items (no extra holes), they are equipped with the rare specification Grover 104 at the time, which is a point that will make vintage freaks grin. Other features include a semi-large snake-shaped head, L6-S engraved truss rod cover, dot inlay, and thin body thickness of 1 and 1 8 inches.

The pickups that are the key to the sound are SuperHumbuckers, which were produced by the best lineup of Bill Lawrence and Larry DiMaggio, on both the rear and front. When you hear all maple material, you may have a preconceived notion that it will have a heavy and crisp sound, but this one is lightweight, weighing around 3 kg, and has a great sense of unity from the head to the body, and has a rich and rich sound. It can handle a wide range of rock and aggressive sounds, including the fat and jazzy sound that is the origin of the Nuke L series. Regarding the condition you are concerned about, it is unique to a good-sounding individual, but it has been used for 50 years and has an amazing real aging look. There are sunburns, dents, scratches, and guard truss cover parts. There are some cracks, extra holes on the end side strap pins, paint damage, etc. But there is no serious damage such as wood repairs. You can also see that parts such as pegs and knob 1 have been replaced, but the main parts are almost original, and the sound output is the same as it was at that time. Regarding the neck condition, the truss rod margin has been confirmed. The frets are low and there are some areas where a buzzing sound can be heard. Comes with an original vintage GIBSON logo hard case.

L6-S L-6S price continues to rise. We have confirmed that there are many sales for around 300,000 yen, but this time we have determined that this item is a popular model manufactured in the very early years of 1974 based on the internal POT date (7348 7407).

Even taking into account the condition, the appropriate price would be around 300,000 yen, but due to the kindness of the previous owner, we are offering this at an exceptional price.
