Gibson L6-S in Long Beach CA - sold today for $250!!

I was amazed when i saw this listing this morning offering a 1975 Gibson L6-S for $90. I thought it must be a typo. But I contacted the seller and it turns out he did indeed sell it after just a few hours and what he called a "bidding war" for the grand and glorious sum of - $250!! Amazing.

This model he sold is exactly what he said - a "Midnight Special" - called that because it was released by Gibson immediately after Paul Stanley of Kiss played his Gibson L6 Custom on televisions "Midnight Special." This model has a bolt-on neck vs. the glued in neck of Paul's L6-Custom and it has a natural headstock instead of a black one. Other than that everything else is the same. Amazingly enough, collector's clamor for the L6-S even more than the orig more expensive L6 Custom because of the fact it was a very limited run at the time. Opinions vary but Gibson likely only made either 500 or 1000 of these guitars in total.

Oh and the seller even included the original Gibson Hard shell case.

Nice score for whoever beat the rest of us to it. Congrats!
