Info: 1973 Gibson L6-S in great condition. Real thick smooth sound with a variety of pick-up options. Solid Maple with an original sunburst paint job. Includes hard shell case with with padded plush interior. My uncle gifted this to me after he passed and he had the original receipt from 1973 when he paid $760 (in 1973 money) Here are some of the features and looking at reviews this is a top-notch well made guitar that is sought after by collectors and professional musicians alike.
Controls include a six position pickup selector, master volume, mid-range and treble roll-off controls. The L-6S Custom is noted for its six way rotary selector switch, complete with “chicken head” pointer knob. Starting with switch position #1, in the most clockwise position, the available pickup switching options are as follows:
1 Both pickups, in series
2 Neck pickup, alone
3 Both pickups, in parallel
4 Both pickups, parallel out of phase, with the neck pickup’s bass response restricted thought a series capacitor*.
5 Bridge pickup, alone
6 Both pickups, series out of phase.
The mid-range control on the L-6S Custom uses a 1.8Hy inductor, which is split wound for hum-cancellation, along with a capacitor. This is a variation of the notch filter concept introduced by Gibson with the VariTone circuit. In the VariTone, however, the resistance is fixed, and different capacitors are chosen. In the L-6S’s mid-range control, the resistance is variable, while the capacitance is a fixed value. The result is one which allows decreasing of the middle tones, while retaining a large degree of “sparkle” or “brilliance” to the tone of the instrument. … Click For More Info
