1970’s Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Good

Early 70’s Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, although not quite certain of the actual year. Anywhere from 1970’s to 72. More a of a player guitar than a collector.

 

Even though it’s a great sounding guitar the originality of it has been tainted by modifications to the pickups and the tuners, much like many people in the early seventies that bought these guitars, routed out the pickup cavities for bigger humbuckers.

 

The front pickup looks to be a Gibson, followed by a Dimarzio bridge pickup – dual sound or PAF. The Bridge tail piece was also changed, a toggle switch was added at some point but is currently disconnected and it gets it the way of playing so removing it would be a better idea.

 

The Headstock was changed for Grover tuners, a common practice in the seventies, it also comes with a three piece Maple top, Sandwich Body, Hardware has been changed to gold Hardware, Rosewood Fret board with original frets.

 

This Guitar is a great playing Les Paul with a lot of vibe and a reasonable price tag this one is definitely for you!

 

A hardshell case is also included
