New to my Gibsons Guitar collection, along the Marauder and S1, an original Gibson L6s, model in rare Silver burst. Like all the L6-s models This is a large but flat body Les Paul shape guitar, and the result of cooperation between Bill Lawrence and Gibson. The L6-s was initially designed in 1972 and first released in 1973. The L6-S is considered one of most underrated of all the Gibson Guitars.  Some high-profile users were Al Di Meola and Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, Keith Richards, Paul Stanley and Mike Oldfield to name but a few. The guitar is kitted out with Nickel hardware, Bill Lawrence pick ups and a “harmonica” or “Nashville” bridge, commonly found on older Gibson guitars. Its got a 24 Fret neck which makes easy reach for the higher notes.

Probably one of Gibson’s best but odd-looking electric guitar the iconic Gibson L6s, Deluxe model  in satin wood. This is a large body Les Paul shape guitar, and the result of cooperation between Bill Lawrence and Gibson. It was initially designed in 1972 and first released in 1973. The idea was to make a “multi-sound system” for a low price. The L6-S model remained in production for a few years but was phased out gradually, although the L6-S Custom remained in the catalogue in 1980 and was still being made in the Nashville plant. The L6-S is now generally considered to be the most underrated of all the Gibson solid bodied guitars. Some high-profile users were Al Di Meola and Carlos Santana. Pat Martino, John McLaughlin, Keith Richards, Paul Stanley and Mike Oldfield, Dave Davies to name but a few.
The guitar is solid body shape with a “harmonica” or “Nashville” bridge, commonly found on older Gibson guitars like the Gibson Les Paul Recording. Its got a 24 Fret neck which makes easy reach for the higher notes. Guitar lives in a flat hard case as the standard LP cases are too small.
