Up for sale, a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, honestly played and in perfect working order. Featuring a Cherry Sunburst finish and a pair of original mini humbuckers with patent number baseplates, this is one very cool Gibson. Tonally, this Les Paul delivers the roundness, definition, and punch that these mini humbuckers are known for. The pickups provide a perfect blend of humbucker and single coil tonalities, enhanced by the maple/mahogany body construction. Tight bass, balanced midrange, and plenty of sparkle on the top end are the merits of this Les paul, with a distinct tonal shift from Bridge to Neck positions for a wide range of sonic possibilities. The guitar weighs in at 10lbs 6oz with plenty of power and sustain, and this Les Paul has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation. The three-piece maple neck features a m. Edium C shaped profile that borders on the slender side of things, and natural palm wear through. The lacquer on the bass side of the profile behind frets 3-12. The guitar has been refretted with m. Edium jumbo fretwire and the c. Urrent frets have plenty of meat and height with no wear. A modern 1 11/16 wide nut has been installed as well. The headstock sports a newer set of double line/single ring Gibson Deluxe tuning machines which turn smoothly and hold pitch well. On the body, all of the electronics work as they should, with untouched solder and CTS pots that date to the 22nd week of 1976. Cosmetically, this guitar shows a bit of honest wear, with very fine lacquer checking across the entire top. The three-piece maple top has well matched seams and the Cherry Sunburst is vibrant and rich, with sparingly little fading of the gloss nitro lacquer. There are various nicks along the back edges of the “pancake” mahogany body a. Long with some minor scuffs and modest signs of use on the entire instrument. The neck profile is very smooth, with prominent flame maple figuring too! This guitar has been consistently played for decades and it’s truly reflected in the tone, with an acoustic resonance and power that newer guitars just can’t duplicate. A hardshell case is included.
