Initially debuted in 1969, the Les Paul Deluxe was the first LP to sport mini humbuckers, a feature that would garner attention from players like Pete Townshend, Scott Gorham, and Barry Bailey. The Les Paul Deluxe had a brighter, clearer tone than the Les Paul Standard and would become the go-to guitar for Gibson fans who loved the hum-free performance of full-sized humbuckers but needed a more articulate sound. The Les Paul 70s Deluxe pays tribute to those early models, and it's great for anyone seeking a premium vintage-inspired Gibson with a clear, full-bodied sound.
Powering the Les Paul 70s Deluxe is a pair of mini humbuckers that give it a rich, classic sound with deep lows, punchy mids, and bell-like highs. Select the neck pickup for more bottom and warmth, or flip on the bridge humbucker for more bark and growl - no matter how you set it, this LP sounds fantastic. And thanks to its hand-wired electronics and Orange Drop capacitors, this Gibson has a premium internal signal path that keeps your tone pleasantly pristine.
Aside from its killer tone, the Les Paul 70s Deluxe plays remarkably well. From its rounded "C" shaped mahogany neck that fits the hand like a glove to its velvety-smooth 22-fret Indian Rosewood fingerboard, this guitar plays like a dream. It also looks like a slick, old-school rock 'n' roll axe, courtesy of its Wine Red finish, chrome plating, and acrylic trapezoid inlays.
Complete with Vintage Keystone tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, this Gibson is perfect for players seeking a top-notch Les Paul Deluxe with a cool, classic vibe.
