Toneful goodness and succulent playability.
In the electronics department, the L6S goes for a blend of classic Gibson and contemporary versatility. Two genuine Alnico-magnet humbucking pickups with four-conductor split-coil wiring”a 490R in the neck and a hotter 498T in the bridge”give you everything from smooth, vocal warmth to crunchy rhythm and snarling lead tones. But it's all taken over the top with a deceptively powerful control array: a six-position pickup switch taps selections for bridge humbucker, bridge single coil, both single, both humbucking, neck single, and neck humbucking for an unprecedented array of alternative voices, while the master volume control is accompanied by two genuine EQ pots for Treble roll-off and bass-roll off, giving you more tonal control than ever before.
Backstory
One of the more intriguing new models to emanate from Gibson in the mid 1970s, the L6S was favored by Carlos Santana and Rich Williams of Kansas, along with several other notable players of the day, and quickly proved its power born from a marriage of Gibson tradition and a sleek, efficient, modern design ethos. To bring all that toneful goodness and succulent playability back to the table, Gibson USA introduces the newly reissued L6S, a performance tool that's still primed to carry today's rock, blues, and fusion guitarist wherever he or she wants to go. With its dual humbucking pickups, resonant maple construction, and versatile controls, the L6S brings back a great voice that's all Gibson, yet something a little different too.
