Stagg Gibson L6 Copy

A copy of the Gibson L6 solid body guitar. Probably made in the 70's or 80's. 24 frets. Maple fretboard. Solid wood blond coloured wood body. 2 chrome coloured humbucking pickups. Enclosed inexpensive no-name chrome tuners. I have seen exact copies of this guitar that had no name on the headstock. All the hardware is a copy of the hardware found on the Gibson. Even the one piece neck has the same shape and feel. Very few features....nice clean guitar. I would prefer a neck-through body construction, higher quality bridge and stop, laminated neck, high quality humbuckers with tap switches, high quality tuners but then, the guitar would have cost much much more.

I like to play blues, retro, latin, country. Strictly amateur. The sound is ok but you can tell it is not a vintage Gibson. Switches and pots are not noisy. Not much variety in sound.

Action need a bit of tweaking. No flaws in construction. Tuning pegs were a bit loose but did not slip. This is not an expensive guitar so you can't expect top notch hardware. I have seen newer guitars in worse condition. The neck was comfortable and quite fast. The maple fretboard had the usual stains on it.

Has lasted for at least 15 years. It would be easy, inexpensive and even fun to upgrade all the hardware on the guitar. The varnish is a bit thin but even that could be re-done too. Sure, I would use it without backup. It would make a great backup guitar.

Probably got sued out of existance by Gibson and other companies that it copied.

I have been playing for over 15 years. I bought this guitar and set it up for my nephew who is a beginner. If it were stolen I would buy another similar sturdy guitar in the same price range. My favourite feature is the fact that it does not look like a strat. It has all the necessary hardware, no paint to hide the solid wood, excellent ratio of quality/price. I would have preferred a neck-through body and a rosewood fretboard.
