Gibson USA Les Paul '70s Deluxe Electric Guitar in Wine Red

Gibson has brought a forgotten gem back to life — the Les Paul '70s Deluxe! First released in 1969, the Deluxe saw the introduction of the legendary mini humbucker to the Les Paul lineup; keeping noise and interference at bay like a full-sized humbucker, but projecting a brighter tone with more upper mid-range punch.

Sporting features inspired by those early models from the 1970s, this time-honoured Les Paul will take you back in time to one of the most progressive eras in rock 'n' roll history!

Key Features

• Mahogany Construction — This timeless tonewood (used for the body/neck) yields the thick and sustain-rich sound synonymous with Gibson guitars.
• Non-Weight Relieved Body — Period-correct design; gives the instrument a substantial feel and captures that iconic vintage sound.
• Bound Maple Top — Adds bright complexities into the tonal mix, enhancing top-end bite and improving note clarity.
• Rounded "C"-Shaped Neck — Old-school profile delivers a "time capsule" feel that'll strongly appeal to traditionalists.
• Indian Rosewood Fingerboard — Smooth and silky material, featuring a comfortable 12" radius and 22 frets.
• Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Tune-O-Matic Bridge — Legendary Gibson design; easily-adjustable and maximises string vibration transference through the body.
