Another question for all you luthiers out there.
Since the pickups were installed I am getting much more fret buzz, especially on the low E and A strings. I know he adjusted for intonation. Could I have another problem here?
Again, any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone can tell me... Do the pickups sit parallel to the strings? Or can that vary? I only had one original pickup for mine, and it was bad so I bought a couple of Toni Iommi's for my L6-S. It looks stock again, but the rear pickup is definitely not parallel to the strings.
Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all... Thought I'd see if there's any love for the L6-S out there. Mine's named Mable... found her about 10 years ago at a used music shop. For years it was my go-to guitar though admittedly, she's not the easiest beast to tame. Other than having to change out one pot, it's all original. I believe it's from the first year of production based on the serial number. Anyhow, it's the only Gibson I've got (though I do have an Epi G-400 SG.) It's the one electric guitar I'd own if I had to get rid of the rest... probably more for sentimental reasons than anything else... this was my first "nice" guitar. I really do like the range of tones and playability of it with the wide low frets. Anybody else a fan of the L6-S?
I have had mine since 1978. I know it's a 1974 or 75 model, but I haven't found enough information yet to narrow it down any more. I have recently started playing it after decades of nothing but closet duty. I love it, I just wish I could find more info on the guitar's history. that is why I found these boards

Has anyone seen or tried the new L6-S yet?
I was looking at them, they look pretty close to the originals.
the differences I noticed are the headstock, the pickups, and the white markings by the chickenhead switch.
