Gibson Les Paul 70s Deluxe - Gold Top Electric Guitar

Deluxe by Name, Deluxe by Nature

First released in 1969, the Deluxe saw the introduction of the mini humbucker™ to the Les Paul lineup. Mini humbuckers retain the hum-free performance of their full-sized cousins but with a somewhat clearer and brighter tonality. The new Deluxe has features that were inspired by those early models from the 1970s, with a non-weight relief mahogany body and bound maple top, a bound mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile, vintage-style Keystone tuners, Graph Tech® nut, and a traditional Les Paul control layout with 2 Volume and 2 Tone controls wired with Orange Drop® capacitors. Available in classic Goldtop and 70s Cherry Sunburst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, From head to toe, the Gibson Les Paul Deluxe '70s Electric Guitar epitomizes what makes a vintage LP so appealing. To start, you get a non-weight-relieved mahogany body — identical to an original — with plenty of warmth and balance that will serve you well in a wide variety of sonic applications. Its eye-popping maple top adds a dash of class while imbuing this formidable 6-string with some welcome brightness. An absolute delight to play, the mahogany neck is shaped to a rounded "C" for superior playability and maximum comfort, and it's capped with a super-smooth rosewood fingerboard. Of course, this guitar wouldn't be a true Les Paul Deluxe without a pair of mini humbuckers, which offer a brighter, clearer tone than their beefier siblings. Made of nitrocellulose lacquer, even the finish is true to the times. It all adds up to an exquisite instrument that embodies the look, feel, and sound of a vintage Les Paul.
