Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 But it's got a bigger body and flat top and sometimes came with a maple fretboard. Even the neck might be bolt on. L5 or what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angus_old Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 L5s or L6s? S1? got a pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted August 25, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 I can't seem to find a picture right now. He played it very early on, around the first two albums. It was white or wood grain and had a maple fretboard. There's an alternate picture from the Alive! photo shoot where he's playing it. Paul is in the middle kind of bending backwards. It's not the one on the real Alive! cover though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angus_old Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 this it? that's an L6S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 The one he played was a Midnight Special. Same as the L6-S but without the varitone control and it had string through body ferrules instead of a stop tail.I had one in '75 (I was a Kiss fan back then). It was a POS.

Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted August 25, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yep! Are those good guitars? I'm wondering if it's the same body shape Warmoth has. They call it L5S though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted August 25, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Oh, missed the POS comment. Really? Although a Warmoth version would rock, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it L5S though. Many people's probably with the L6-S is that is was an all maple body with a maple neck. Made it heavy and bright. Junior Kimbough and other blues guys did get some great tones from them though. I believe Santan was an endorsee at one time. The L5-S was fancier and featured different woods, body thickness, electronics, trim, construction, etc.. L5-S L6-S I doubt the Warmoth will come with the L6-S' beveled edges, but you could do them yourself before finishing. -Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headless Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Didn't he endorse the Gibson Marauder back then? There's a picture of him with it (near the bottom) at this link: http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official_s&q=Gibson+Marauder&spell=1 That was my first electric-guitar.

It was called a Midnight Special. I had one and a Gibson poster with Paul Stanley playing it. If you're looking for one, don't waste your time. It's crap.
