USED - Gibson Les Paul Deluxe - Gold Top
As new inc case & candy.
Gibson has brought a forgotten gem back to life — the Les Paul '70s Deluxe! First released in 1969, the Deluxe saw the introduction of the legendary mini humbucker to the Les Paul lineup; keeping noise and interference at bay like a full-sized humbucker, but projecting a brighter tone with more upper mid-range punch.
Sporting features inspired by those early models from the 1970s, this time-honoured Les Paul will take you back in time to one of the most progressive eras in rock 'n' roll history!
Key Features
