In late 1974 Gibson began using 3-piece Maple Necks on Les Pauls, by January 1976, every neck was Maple. I have a 1972 Deluxe with a 3-piece Mahogany Neck and a RARE 2-piece curly maple top. I also have a 1976 Custom with a 3-piece Maple Neck / Maple Fingerboard but I have a 1994 Les Paul Classic which has a 1-piece Mahogany Neck. I don’t recall if the Heritage Elite Les Paul (1980-81) had a Maple Neck, though? The 25/50 Anniversary Les Paul definitely had a Maple Neck though.
