Gibson 1973 Les Paul Deluxe in Tobacco Sunburst

53 years old and getting better every day, this Les Paul Deluxe is one of the finest examples of when Gibson ‘got it right’. While there is a lot said about the golden years of Gibson (50s- early 60s..) it is now accepted that there were also some legendary guitars developed in the 70s, the guitar we have here is a fine demonstration of this.

Combining a pair of super-responsive and bright Gibson mini humbuckers with the mahogany body, maple top and early mahogany neck construction results in a Les Paul that has a huge tonal palate taking you from a hot-rodded Tele tone on the bridge, woody clean neck tones through to huge sustain and enough output to easily satisfy a fan of the heavier stuff.

These guitars are becoming harder to find and with the introduction of the reissues, originals like this are becoming increasingly valuable as the amazing vintage instruments they are, this model is in great all round condition for its age with a slight repair on the neck from a crack that never went all the way through, this has been professionally assessed and has been well done and is strong and stable.
