    This 12 3/4-inch-wide Sunburst Les Paul DeLuxe weighs 9.20 lbs. and has a nice, fat nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Three-piece (mahogany/maple/mahogany) sandwich body, carved maple top, three-piece (mahogany/maple/mahogany) sandwich neck, and rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and inlaid pearl trapezoid position markers. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and "Les Paul Model" decal. Two layer (black over white) bell shaped truss-rod cover with two screws and "Deluxe" engraved in white. Individual 'two-line' Gibson Deluxe tuners with double-ring Keystone plastic buttons with "D-169400 / patent No." stamped on the underside. Two metal-covered mini-humbucker pickups with cream plastic surrounds and outputs of 6.12k and 6.06k, each with a small black rectangular label lettered in gold "Patent No / 2,737,842". Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch. Gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. Tune-O-Matic bridge with retainer and separate stud tailpiece. The pots are dated "137 73 03" (CTS, January 1973). This guitar is in near mint (9.25) condition, with just two small areas of wear, one on the side of the treble horn and the other on the back of the neck behind the ninth fret. There is a miniscule amount of belt buckle scarring (nothing through the finish) on the back. Complete with the original twenty-four page hang tag booklet and the original hang tag warranty. Housed in its original Gibson black hardshell case with purple plush lining (9.25).

    The Deluxe is the underrated gem of the vintage LP's. As early bursts climb to a half million dollars and other vintage LP's are dragged upward, the Deluxe will become the vintage LP to buy.

      So true! Norlin’s cop a bit of a bad rap but my 69/70 Deluxe is the most resonant guitar I ever played and I got it for the same price as a new Les Paul. Unbelievable guitars in my book!!

      I agree! I had a 77 Les Paul Deluxe Gold top, the best playing and sounding guitar I ever had. I'm thinking of buying a new gold top with P-90s and changing them out to Minis

    I have had my 79 deluxe from new and it has played decades of gigs, recently I have been thinking of getting a new Tele but, I pick up my deluxe and wonder what on earth was I thinking ! I love the mini humbuckers and have never even needed to take the truss rod cover off ! Thankyou Gibson for giving me such a reliable and great sounding guitar. 😁👍

    • @jimistheman9732

      Took my TRC cover off for the first time in 40 years recently. But I've changed climates radically twice in a few years. so that's probably the reason it finally needed adjustment. There was still factory sawdust in the cavity.

    • @Wooburnmusic

      @@jimistheman9732 lol Jim ! Some valuable dust there Jim ! Well, I've had the hots for a Tele for many years but the thought of that 60 buzz continues to put me off, personally tho I think that there is only great sound on a Tele and that's the bridge pickup especially going thru a Marshall 50w valve amp but must run through a 4x12 tho, but that said, my deluxes have given me years of trouble free gigging, I used a strat for a few years before I bought the deluxes and the sound of the strat in many different venues was a nightmare ! When I bought the deluxes it took around 6 months to begin to play them in, but, I never looked back 👍 nice to hear from you Jim take care and never stop playing. 😁👍

    Minibuckers are like the best of both worlds. Less output and more responsiveness but no noise. Where as p90s are like the least of both worlds but their imperfection is what gives them character.
    And to Phil, thanks for doing all these videos you love them and we love you. I can't imagine what it's like to lose someone that close to you but there are a lot of people that care about you, so don't forget that.

    I have a 1971 Les Paul Deluxe in a cherry sunburst! The neck is so slim, and the action is brill! My Dad bought it in london in 1972 the rare thing about it is tho there is a coil tap on it! Makes it sound like a tele which is rather cool!

  • @BaalZephonMusic
    @BaalZephonMusic 10 років тому +4


    It's currently fashionable in uninformed circles to slag all Norlin-era LP's. Having owned 7 Les Paul's ranging from 1969 to 2013, including 2 custom shop VOS (ES 1275 and R60), I have two 1976 LP Deluxes and find them to be the smoothest playing (slim taper neck) and sturdiest builds out of all my LP's. They have a two piece mahogany body, a 3 piece CARVED maple top and a three piece maple neck with volute, & sound incredible. The mini-humbuckers don't have the low end of a PAF, but the sweetness and sustain is incredible.

    • @BlindTom61

  • @richardabell175
    @richardabell175 4 місяці тому

    Love the mini humbuckers, i have a deluxe 69. Some people compare them to Fender single coils, I honestly would disagree. More like a single coil with extra cream, they are totally unique in my mind. But I am really happy that they seemingly remain unpopular, means more for me on the collectors working within a limited budget.

    The same model and year that Ace Frehley used before he got his Cherry Sunburst. He had regular humbuckers installed but the neck pickup ring had to be cut where the fretboard meets the body but i guess standard humbuckers will fit in these. Check out early pictures of KISS and youll see what im talking about. I wanna get one of these and mod it like Ace's

  • @alwaysopen7970
    @alwaysopen7970 13 років тому

    Phil didn't play that one with as much enthusiasm as he does other Les Pauls.
    I have a 1975 Deluxe Goldtop and due to the fact Norlin was making the pancake bodies back then and it is a heavy 10lbs+ sustain beast. It also has a fat 50s carve neck which suits me just fine. I bought it used in 82 for $250 and the guy had routed the bridge pup to full size. It came with a Dimarzio but I replaced it with a Carvin that sounds better than a burstbucker.
    Phil never mentioned how heavy that one was.
