Gibson Les Paul 70s Deluxe 70s Wine Red

First released in 1969, the Deluxe saw the introduction of the Mini Humbucker to the LesPaul lineup. Mini Humbuckers retain the hum-free performance of their full-sized cousins but with a somewhat clearer and brighter tonality. The new Deluxe has features that were inspired by those early models from the 1970s, with a non-weight relief mahogany body and bound maple top, a bound mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile, vintage-style Keystone tuners, a GraphTech nut, and a traditional Les Paul control layout with 2 Volume and 2 Tone controls hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors.

Gorgeous Neck

The rounded mahogany neck on the Les Paul Standard ’70s is a truly outstanding innovation which is as satisfying as it is playable. Whether you hook your thumb over the top or keep it at the back, you’ll feel comfortable playing in your own style. Its warm resonance further boosts each note you play, and lets your guitar’s voice truly shine. It’s also silky smooth for slick manoeuvrability up and down the fretboard. You’re bound to discover a world of musical possibilities with this beautiful instrument in your hands.
