Gibson Vintage 6 strings Guitar L6-S Custom June 1975 Sunburst W/ Original case Pickup selector of a L6-S Custom. The L6-S Custom is noted for its six way rotary selector switch, complete with "chicken head" pointer knob. Starting with switch position #1, in the most counter-clockwise position, the available pickup switching options are as follows: 1. Both pickups, in series 2. Neck pickup, alone 3. Both pickups, in parallel 4. Both pickups, parallel out of phase, with the neck pickup's bass response restricted thought a series capacitor. 5. Bridge pickup, alone 6. Both pickups, series out of phase. The capacitor in the #4 position gives a fuller tone than the otherwise very nasal out of phase tone. The capacitor serves to limit the low end response of the neck pickup, and also phase delays the signal from that pickup, resulting in a fuller tone, not too unlike the #2 and #4 switch positions on a guitar. Note that these switching options are for the original 1970s L6-S with sealed ceramic Bill Lawrence Humbuckers. This Gibson guitar was Designed for Carlos Santana.. Gibson INC I called told me this Gibson L6-S was made in USA June of 1975.. Can play high notes very easy on this guitar. Has a slim neck easy to chord very fast.. I have owned this guitar more than 30 years you could not find a better guitar to play rock or jazz. Repaired guitar case end.
