    My dad is restringing a guitar for a co-worker. We can not Id the model.

    Here is what we so do:
    It is a Gibson
    There is a dot over the I in Gibson logo (not all years had the dot)
    It was made between 1970 - 1972 (this was figures by the fact that the serial # is stamped into the wood and the 'Made in USA' is on 2 lines and is smaller the the serial #)
    It is most likely make of solid maple.
    It has 2 pots (instead of 4) and the selector switch is lower then most gibsons.

    Here are a few pictures

    Well, it looks kinda like an L6S, but I don't recall the through-body stringing...I would have expected the standard tailpiece in early 70's gibson :confused: maybe customized?

    Thanks zombie. That go me going in the right direction. It was a mid 70'd L-6S Deluxe. The Deluxe had through body strings. Thanks a lot!
