Gibson L6-S? Anyone?
I saw one of these in a local music store I do business with. The owner is selling it consignment on Ebay for a customer. I looked it up and its a awesome guitar, and would complement my collection, BUT, he is wanting waaaay to much for it and I don't want to tell him he's off his rocker cause I have been doing business (well my mother has at least and I have since I was 13... im 25 now) since I was six. I want this guitar but I only feel its worth 350, and he wants 600+ for it. Its a mid 70's model that has been put thru the ringer. What do I do? Do I stiff up and tell him no way, your out of your mind, or do I jump on it. I looked up the guitar and it CAN go from 150 (modded from OEM) to 600 in prestine condition. Its in alright shape with no case. Help me fretters!

The L6S was almost my first good electric guitar. I went for an ash Strat instead.
Unless it's in perfect shape I feel he's a little high. True, they aren't made any more but it's not that great of a guitar to begin with so the price shouldn't be very high. $450 maybe for a little Gibson history.

The L6s was a great guitar. The maple body and the chrome pickups with the rotary switch gave it a bright, almost strat like sound. I would love to find a decent used one. They've been going on Ebay for way too much. I've seen a few go for almost $1000.

Carlos Santana and Keith Richards both used these and Bill lawrence had his hand in designing/making them.The pups are his design also .They have been going for $500-1000 on ebay,in all sorts of conditions!(with without cases) I've never seen these for $150 or really $350 for that matter even in a trashed out condition. I agree with spudman $400-500 seems fair for a mid 70's historic gibson.(IMHO) These 70's and 80's gibsons are going to go up in price and have already!ude:
