Ha. It is what it is. I had someone pick apart my 1968 SG Special on eBay so I stopped my auction and went to Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, who are the Gibson experts, and they verified that my guitar is what I said it was, so I'm out $50 because some eBay troll was telling me my description was wrong. Maybe I should send my photos of the L6-S to Gruhn?

Thanks for the link. Damn straight on the guitar. I was shocked at how awesome it is, and it looks so basic. Maybe when I sell it, I should describe it as the "mystery guitar". Even though I've seen Paul Stanley, Robin Zander and Bob Mothersbaugh play these things, I say, "Gibson L6-S" and get nothing but blank looks. Or I've used it as a spare for shows, and had people ask, "What IS that?".

And obviously the pickup covers were taken off and the original plastic mounts around the pickups are gone. It was like this when I bought it.

I have this one with serial 659508, so it is 1970-1972 based on my research, but I want to nail it down. I love this thing! The pickups are pretty hot. p.s. please do not give me **** about the stickers. I was in my 20s and played in a punk rock band when I bought this for $250.
