An absolutely gorgeous guitar......

But what's with the headstock?

That's not a typical LP headstock..

PANick, you seem to know a fair bit about vintage guitars....

So here's a puzzle for you....

Do you know what this is? (It belongs to the other guitarist in my band....)

It also has a strange headstock...

ok.

Here are some "Close-Up" clues.....

Headstock..:

Back...:

Body....:

Get it yet?

I think it was made in middle-late '70s....

well...the 70s saw lots of wierd gibsons that were short lived because there was so much groovy stuff happening

and Jimi had made the strat a legend , and that Flying V and...lots of things were being tried..

I think eric had put away his les paul by then and was also playing a strat so GIBSON was trying stuff to win back their sales from Leo..

Gibson made some Bolt On neck maple fretboard guitars..

the L6S was one and it was a 1974-76 guitar..

rare

bright sounding..

this guitar you have here has a 17 degree headstock and a bolt on maple neck with a sol;id mahogony body..

it's like it's a cross between a 50s Gibson les paul TV and a 70s L6s

I've never seen one like it

that does say Gibson on the headstock.....huh?

I think you should probably mail it to me for further analysis..

huh?

I sure would like a close up of that headstock and a look at the back of it...

well....it's a very cool guitar..

those bolt on gibsons were odd ducks...and this one has three single coils??

and a flying V headstock?

it's very cool!...I bet it sounds great..

I dont know what the hell it is but I do know that this was Gibson trying to get into the Stratocaster market...

I still think you should mail this giutar to me for further analysis..

C.O.D. is fine

K?

Well, I find it an "interesting" guitar too... - fun to look at and talk about...

But to my ears, it doesn't sound that good... kinda "thin" sounding....

(It's called an "S1", by the way... - the only one I've ever seen...)

I just figured you'd get a kick out of seeing such a strange beast....

So.

To summarize....

Here's a clearer picture of the front of the headstock..

And here's the back - Serial # and all...

Still - I don't really think the tone is that great - just one of those fun guitars from way back when...
