This is a 1975 Gibson L6-S Deluxe.
Introduced during 1973 in collaboration with Bill Lawrence, the L6-S was meant to provide a very versatile instrument at a lower production (and sales) cost, and to appeal to rockers who wanted something different than a Les Paul or SG, and to jazzers who remembered the big L-series archtops.

The Gibson J-35 is back, and what an entrance!
Originally produced in 1936, the J-35 was displaced by the classic (and slightly more expensive) J-45, and went out of production in 1942. About 3000 were originally made.
The headstock has the vintage Gibson script logo and the “Only A Gibson Is Good Enough” banner.

Here’s a near-perfect 1997 Gibson Herb Ellis ES-165. The ES-165 is a single-pickup version of the classic ES-175, and Herb Ellis is, of course, one of the great jazz guitarists.
Many Gibson signature guitars have the artist’s name engraved on the truss rod cover. However, Herb Ellis commonly removed this part to mount a George Van Eps string damper (a lever device that damps the open strings from ringing), so the signature is stencilled on the headplate.
