JRAD Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I recently acquired this LP Deluxe in trade for a US Strat - my first Gibson, and so far I couldn't be happier. Now the neck plate clearly says 'Deluxe' - however this 2012 does not have mini-humbuckers, but rather full size ones. There are push-pull pots on both volumes. I read that the vintage Deluxes were available with full size HBs by special order, and stumbled across a post Somewhere of a similar guitar and the owner said that he had obtained it from Guitar Center. The serial number checks out, but obviously gives no model details - 114620560. Is this an unusual version? I am having a hard time determining the difference between this, and say a typical Studio model other than the Deluxe badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hello and welcome to the Forums. Well, I know how confusing Gibson model designations can be...that's a Studio Deluxe. It was offered both with 50s and 60s style neck profiles. 50s Deluxe: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio-Deluxe-50s.aspx 60s Deluxe: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio-Deluxe-60s-Exclusive.aspx Best wishes...
