The gibson L6S that Prince used in the end of the 70`s beggining of the 80`s is being relaunched.

I saw pics of prince with the guitar and thought it looked cool. I always wondered what for an guitar it was thnaks for sharing !

I actually have one. The body type is a little like a Gibson SG being very thin and light, but it's made of Maple instead of Mahogany, making it brighter sounding.

It has a longer fretboard (full two octaves) and that pushes the neck pickup a little closer to the bridge than on a typical Gibson.

All in all, it's not my favorite guitar. Honestly I am surprised they would bring it back, it is sort of the ugly lovechild of a Les Paul & an SG.

But it's not bad, and it's kind of a cheap guitar, too. Maybe it'll be sold for less than the typical Gibson, though I kind of doubt it!

Very cool. This is the one Prince heavily modified by adding leopard print, blinking lights and then chopping off the lower horn.
