2012 LP Deluxe - with full size Humbuckers...?


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

60s Deluxe: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio-Deluxe-60s-Exclusive.aspx

 

Best wishes... Bence
