| Comments | Here’s a great Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop from 1976. The Gibson Les Paul was first released with this finish – metallic gold top and clear on the rest of the guitar. Over the years, the gold top finish has been available but by the 1970’s was mostly seen on the Deluxe model, featuring two mini-humbucker pickups (from Gibson’s Epiphone stock) in P-90 sized routes.The Les Paul Deluxe was introduced in 1968. In the early 1970’s, Les Pauls gained maple necks, some – like this one – with volutes to help increase strength. This is a very good example of a mid-1970’s Les Paul Deluxe. |
