    Oh, no worries. I thought you would like to see your guitar wasn’t some sort of freak or something 😀 So I sent that out of left field !!

    Actually these instruments are somehow tied to Paul Stanley of Kiss. In the mid 70’s he played white ones and purple ones for a Kiss Alive tour. Destroyed a couple I hear as well. There are videos on YouTube of this. They of course played off of the Midnight Special theme at Gibson and came up with the name for this particular incarnation of the L6-S. These special colored guitars were very, very limited and they sold them at NAMM right off of the floor that winter. I cannot get anyone to confirm at Gibson how many actually exist but it is likely that there are less than 50 total given the extremely small number of Midnight Specials that DID get documented in Kalamazoo. I was told with the Kiss association and the rare finish this instrument can bring twice that of a regular L6. I have 4 other L6 and I paid the most for this one. About $900 10 yrs ago at a vintage dealer in Frederick MD. The story basically makes it worth more $$. Still not a super desirable instrument by Gibson enthusiast standards but still an interesting beast. Enjoy… ________ [URL=http://trichomes.org/marijuana-strains/og-kush]og kush[/URL]
