Up for sale is a classic piece of 1970s Gibson history: a 1974/75 Gibson L6-S (serial number: 414741). Designed by legendary pickup master Bill Lawrence, this was Gibson's first all-maple solid-body guitar and features a full 24-fret, two-octave neck. Famous players like Carlos Santana, Ronnie Wood and Al Di Meola used these massive tone chameleons back in the day. I found this guitar over 20 years ago and it needed some TLC - it's been refinished and some missing parts replaced with stock kit: 1 tuning peg, the scratch plate and bridge. Original pickups and 6-way selector switch are intact but had to be re-wired. Since then I've only ever used it sparingly and never gigged it, so it's in wonderful condition for a vintage 50+ year old guitar.

- Neck: 3-piece Maple (Set neck)

Condition
- Playability: The neck is straight/fast and the frets are in good condition, ranging between approx. 60-80% life left. It plays beautifully and the action variable via the adjustable bridge.
- Aesthetics: This guitar is in very good shape. The refinish means the lacquer is in perfect condition. There is some vintage wear on the pickup cover plates but this is a great looking instrument.
- Repairs: There are no breaks, cracks, or repairs to the woodword. Other than the aforementioned refinish and couple of replacement parts the guitar is in perfect shape.
