Gibson Les Paul '70s Deluxe, Goldtop Overview
Capture the spirit of the '70s with the Gibson Les Paul '70s Deluxe in Wine Red, a guitar that combines iconic design, modern enhancements, and the unmistakable tone of mini-humbucker pickups.
First introduced in 1969, the Les Paul Deluxe brought the mini-humbucker to the Les Paul lineup. The Gibson Les Paul '70s Deluxe in Wine Red reintroduces this seminal electric guitar for the modern player. The versatile mini-humbucking pickup retains the hum-free performance of full-sized humbuckers but offers a slightly brighter and clearer tone.
This Wine Red version of the '70s Deluxe pays homage to the iconic design while incorporating modern enhancements for today’s players.
The Perfect Combo
The '70s Deluxe features a mahogany body paired with a maple top, creating a well-balanced, focused tone. The maple top not only adds to the guitar’s sonic character but also contributes to its striking appearance. The mahogany neck enhances the guitar’s warmth, while the Rounded “C” profile ensures a comfortable playing experience.
Smooth and Elegant
The Indian rosewood fretboard, adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets and classic trapezoid inlays, adds an elegant touch to the '70s Deluxe. The 43.053mm Graph Tech nut enhances sustain and contributes to the guitar’s sharp, clear tone. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stop bar tailpiece provide excellent tuning stability, ensuring your guitar stays in tune throughout your performance.
A Unique Voice
Equipped with a pair of mini-humbuckers, the Gibson Les Paul '70s Deluxe shares many tonal characteristics with the classic PAF pickups, albeit with some subtle differences. The smaller physical area of the mini-humbuckers allows for a lower output, greater clarity, and enhanced articulation, even when using heavy distortion. The 3-way toggle switch makes it easy to find the perfect sound for your musical needs.
Finishing Touches
The Gibson Les Paul '70s Deluxe in Wine Red is completed with cream binding, chrome hardware, vintage keystone tuners, and a classic '70s gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The hand-wired controls, featuring 2 volume and 2 tone knobs, as well as a toggle switch, allow for precise tonal adjustments. The guitar comes fitted with .010 - .046 strings and includes a hardshell case.
