The L-6S, released in 1973, was a cutting-edge model for its time, incorporating features such as the "Super Humbucker" pickup, a non-visible pole piece pickup using ferrite magnet s developed by Bill Lawrence, and a 6-way rotary pickup selector switch. After its release, variations of the model were also released. This particular guitar, shipped around 1973, is an ebony black color and has a nice, worn-in look. 【body】 The total weight is approximately 3.9 kg. The slim body is made of maple wood. The ebony black color and silver hardware look very cool. There is some weather checking, dents, belt buckle marks, a crack in the pickguard, and tarnishing of the metal parts, which are appropriate for its age, but it is in good condition with a vintage guitar feel. 【neck】 The neck is made of 3-piece maple. The fingerboard is ebony with 24 frets. The truss rod cover with the often-missing 'L6-S' logo is still intact. There are some scratches, paint chips, and touch-up areas around the headstock, but it is in relatively good condition. The tuners have been replaced with Grover 102C tuners, and they function perfectly without any problems. The frets and nut have been replaced once, and although there is some wear, the playability is good. The nut width is 40.2mm. It can be said to have a relatively solid neck shape. [Electrical System] The controls consist of a 6-way rotary switch, master volume, and two tone controls. The rotary switch also functions as a pickup selector. 1. Series Mixed In-Phase 2. Neck position 3. Parallel Mix-in-Phase (In-Phase) 4. Parallel mix out of phase (out of phase) 5. Bridge Position 6. Series mix out of face (out of phase) And it switches like this. The pickups are two "Super Humbuckers" designed by the renowned Bill Lawrence. The control parts, including the pickups, have been kept in their original condition. The all-maple material provides a clean, uncolored tone, and the rotary switch allows you to select parallel or phase when mixing, offering a wide range of sounds.
