1972 Left-Handed Gibson Les Paul Deluxe

Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top Left Hand 1972 full front view

Comments	Here’s a very cool 1972 Left-Handed Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. This one’s well used, and the finish has reacted over the years and shifted to a green tint. The 1968-introduced Deluxe design again allowed Gibson to re-use parts – the routing is the same as for P-90 models, and the mini-humbuckers came from Epiphone models. The trim ring is a modified P-90 cover! Production ended in 1985.
