Just got this 1977 Gibson L6 Custom ebony, this one has been WELL LOVED and all original,
at least that's what I suppose, the pups are pretty early Bill Lawrence L500 with Patent Pending
stickers and all the pots are dating from 1976 and the solders looks unaltered.
The gloss finish was sanded off probably due to much of the finish has gone flat, a hot soldering
tool was left heating when the neck was laid on it leaving a small mark on the back of the headstock.
The neck is really small but comfy, the ebony fretboard makes it a breeze to play and it got a refret
along the way.
The peace sign looks cool but may hide something, will check that later
I like the fact that it only weight 8.2 lbs and is surprisingly well balanced.
Will be giving it a spin today to test further them growling pups.
