The Gibson L6S Electric Guitar, Antique Natural is a reissue of the Gibson LS6 of the mid 1970s, which was favored by Carlos Santana, Rich Williams of Kansas, as well as others. Today's newly reissued L6S is a performance tool that's still primed to carry today's rock, blues, and fusion guitarist wherever he or she wants to go and features dual humbucking pickups, resonant maple construction, and versatile controls, bringing back a great voice that's all Gibson, yet something a little different.
The Gibson L6S features a slim body and neck of solid Grade-A maple that provide unprecedented sustain and clarity, along with a chimey depth that is further enhanced by this model's overall design. This single-cutaway solidbody is given an Antique Natural finish in nitrocellulose lacquer, to bring out the timeless beauty of the wood, while encouraging unbridled resonance. The glued-in Grade-A maple neck is carved to a fast, slim profile that measures .800" at the 1st fret and .930" at the 12th.
The L6S is topped with a Grade-A maple fingerboard fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and 12" radius. The classic pairing of Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece keep it all solid at the body end, while a set of great Grover kidney button tuners assure smooth efficiency north of the PLEK-cut Corian nut.
The Gibson L6S features a blend of two genuine Alnico-magnet humbucking pickups - a 490R in the neck and a hotter 498T in the bridge with four-conductor split-coil wiring, controlled by a six-position pickup switch which selects between bridge humbucker, bridge single coil, both single, both humbucking, neck single, and neck humbucking for an unprecedented array of alternative voices, while the master volume control is accompanied by two genuine EQ pots for Treble roll-off and bass-roll off, giving you more tonal control than ever before.
