eerickso Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have a Gibson L6-S from around 1974 or so. The serial number is 622791, and it also has the number "2" embossed above the serial number. I've been told that means it is a factory second, and had a small imperfection when it was built. The guitar has a Gibson hard case, and both the guitar and case are in very good condition. It was played frequently but casually for a period of several years by a single owner. It's had a pretty pampered life overall. Before I list it for sale, I'm trying to get a general idea of what's reasonable to expect, and whether it's best to sell it with the case or sell the two items separately. I'm attaching one pic but have more specific ones. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunningham26 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sell with the case, and don't expect a sudden windfall of cash, sorry to say. regardless of condition, a factory second of a not-very collectible guitar (for now, who knows what the future holds) doesn't command a large sum. they're going on ebay between 400-800, yours may end up on the low end because it's a second, but maybe hit the middle ground because it's an earlier model. good luck!

Stoopalini Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have no idea what it would sell for, but here's the blue book information if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Love it. I had a wine red one. I'm in the UK otherwise I'd make you an offer, with case. Very tempted indeed but the shipping is expensive then customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerickso Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks much for the responses. Is the $400-800 estimate including the case? Also, could you help me with the difference between the Custom and the Deluxe? I'm not certain which this is. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoopalini Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 could you help me with the difference between the Custom and the Deluxe? I'm not certain which this is. The most obvious would be 3 knobs on the custom and 2 knobs on the deluxe. Check the descriptions in the image I posted for what each model entails.
