For sale is a beautiful, all-original 1977 Gibson L6-S Custom in its sleek factory Ebony finish. In excellent vintage condition with just a few minor marks (see photos) on the body and headstock. This guitar came from the original owner and was played very little.

This Norlin-era classic is an exceptional example of an all-black, highly versatile vintage rock machine with incredible sustain. It’s fully dated and verified via its factory serial number and internal pot codes.

Condition & Playability: This guitar is in excellent vintage condition, especially considering its nearly 50 years of age. It shows very little play wear and no major chips, deep gouges, or structural issues. The dark nitrocellulose finish and dark fingerboard look striking. The neck is straight, the frets have plenty of life left, and the action is fast and comfortable. Set up and ready to play with a new set of strings

Pickups: Original Bill Lawrence-designed “Super Humbuckers” (famously known as Tarbacks due to the black epoxy on the bottom). They offer massive output and exceptional clarity.

6-Way Rotary Switch: The original chicken-head multi-position switch is fully functional, unlocking everything from fat neck humbucker tones to unique, out-of-phase single-coil-like chime.

Controls: Master Volume, Mid-Range, and Treble Roll-off controls smoothly with minimal vintage scratchiness.

Weight is 8 lb 3 oz.

Case & Shipping: Includes a perfect-fitting Epiphone hardshell case for safe storage.

Packed inside the case with professional care, fully insured, and shipped promptly via Reverb Safe Shipping.
