1974 Gibson L6-S Deluxe with Rosewood Fretboard - Natural
Serial Number: 552651 Weight: 7 lbs 9 oz
Condition: The condition on this 1974 L6 is very good for a vintage guitar. It shows signs of play wear, but overall it has been very well taken care of. There is buckle rash on the back of the guitar, and light wear around the pickguard. The back of the neck has some finish that has been worn through by the fretting hand. The pickups have been replaced with a nice set of Gibson Patent Applied For Humbuckers. The L6 sports its original Gibson Deluxe tuners. The G String tuner is bent slightly but fully functional. All latches work on the original hardshell case.
The 1974 Gibson L6-S Deluxe is a versatile, maple-bodied guitar born from a collaboration with pickup designer Bill Lawrence. Introduced in 1973, the L6-S series offered Gibson’s first 24-fret, two-octave fingerboard.
Key Historical Details
- Designer Collaboration: Designed in 1972, the L6-S was the first major collaboration between Gibson and Bill Lawrence.
- Market Position: Built as a budget-friendly and versatile alternative to the high-end Gibson L5-S, it shifted away from traditional mahogany towards maple construction.
- Endorsements: The guitar surged in popularity during 1974, supported by endorsements from major artists like Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola, and Pat Martino.
- Production Stats: Over the model's lifetime (1973–1979), high shipping numbers made the Custom one of Gibson’s biggest Norlin-era successes.
Construction and Hardware
- Body & Neck: Solid maple body and maple neck for exceptional sustain and a bright tone.
- Fretboard: 24 frets with a scale length of \(24.75^{\prime \prime }\) (ebony or maple depending on the run).
