Vintage 1974-1975 Gibson L6-S Deluxe – All Original w/ Grover Tuners + OHSC

Up for sale is a vintage Gibson L6-S Deluxe, likely manufactured between 1974 and 1975 based on the serial number (500490) and period-specific features. While we can’t guarantee the exact year, our research places it confidently within that early-to-mid '70s range.

This L6-S Deluxe is all original with the exception of the tuners, which are Grovers believed to be from the same era—possibly swapped out not long after the guitar was purchased, as they match the vintage look and feel perfectly.

The guitar has recently been professionally serviced and set up, with a fresh set of strings and low, comfortable action. It plays beautifully, with the signature clarity and tonal versatility the L6-S series is known for. Electronics are clean and fully functional.

Includes the original Gibson hard shell case, complete with the original key. Please note: the case handle is broken, but all latches work properly and the interior is in good condition.

Features:

  • Likely 1974–1975 Gibson L6-S Deluxe
  • Serial Number: 500490
  • All original except Grover tuners (vintage)
  • Recent professional setup & new strings
  • Original Gibson hard shell case w/ key (broken handle)

This is a solid example of an underrated vintage Gibson model—perfect for collectors or players looking for something unique from the Norlin era. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to request specific photos!
