Yo. Interesting reading dudes! I have an old Gibson L6s also ... and yes, I almost never see anyone out there playing one either. It certainly kicks. My has been hot-rodded (for good our bad?). It is definately not orginal material! The original pickups are gone and replaced with two semore duncan single coils run in series ... the five position swith is also gone and replaced with another tone rotary potentiomiter ... it has a "fender-strat-like" five position swith installed for pick-up selection along with an onboard phase shifter controled by an additonal three postion switch - baby, these last two unusual switches working together smash out some radical voicings! Also the entire fret board has been reworked and has "Nashville" fat frets installed in all 22 frets. The guitar cooks and sounds great with lots of distortion. The one downside is that the original humbucking pickups are gone. I have had this beast since 1982 (purchased for $250). Also of note: the "Nashville" fat frets make the string action outragiously fast, smooth, and a total blast to play. Please update me further with your experiences ...
