I have a Gibson L6S (Serial# 00143367) with oringinal non-bolted single piece neck and head...as well as the original Grover Tuning Keys, Hummbucking Pickups, 6-way switch, floating bridge and Gibson Hardcase...Fret board and neck are in perfect condition, as is all of this L6S...Gold-n-Black body, Neck and Head with Gold Lettered "Gibson" Log on head... I have been a guitar nut since I was a teen-kid in the 60's...Have owned some of the neater guitars during my 60's-70's...in the late 60's I bought a couple original Ventures-Mosrite guitars, a Single Pickup Rickenbacker Electric and a Gray Rickenbacker Amp, then there was the Very-First Electric Ovation Models, which '67 I played with a garage band member named Ladd Gurley, who's Dad was one of the founders of Ovation Guitars and Amps... From there I bought a Gibson GS, Melody-Maker, Fender Telecaster and a Stratocaster... I also had an original Ampeg (Blue Box-Single Speaker-Inversion Head)Tube Amp... In my later years bought a Les Paul and re-issue Strat... Wish I had them all back...but one thing for sure, my L6S is one of the best guitars I have ever played...the sound, action and look is astonishing...Les Paul, Strats and Tele have there places in great music sound, but the L6S is just so sweet to play any type of music...you just can't beat it without buying 6 different high-class quality guitars... I have had numerous musicians want to buy my L6S for some pretty big bucks...so much so that I have to say I was temped...very temped... So those of you that have an original L6S...it is worth more than the market reveals... Gibson was to make a re-issue from what I heard a few years back...not sure of that materialized... I hope not...because there is nothing like having the real McCoy... Enjoy... BZ...
