Deluxe by Design – The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe ’70s Electric Guitar – Goldtop
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 timbre. This new Deluxe has features that were inspired by those early models from the 1970s, like it’s non-weight relieved mahogany body and bound maple top, a bound mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile and vintage-style Keystone tuners, but adds a Graph Tech® nut. The traditional Les Paul control layout with 2 Volume and 2 Tone controls now features Orange Drop® capacitors.
