The Mick Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 does it have a mahogany or maple neck ? does it have mini humbuckers or P-90's Does it have a one piece or a sandwiched body ? If it has the latter of these three questions it a Les Paul Pro Deluxe and would have come with an ebony fretboard. I don't know of any other deluxe's that had that. And yes by all means post some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks [img']http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af221/tdrrmr/001.jpg[/img] You've already stated the only thing that matters! "it's a great player!" Enjoy it... If you're referring to the "Norlin Era"...I have an 1980 LP Custom, and a 1976 LP Deluxe, that are both GREAT! So, just enjoy your guitar. Opinions are like...well, you know. ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdrrmr Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks C B, I have a 78 artisan and a 79 standard that i have had for years and both are great guitars....the more people that I have talked to about the deluxe say that they are great ....Im starting to believe that the ones that knocked them never played one........Thanks everyone for your feedback !

The Mick Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Deluxe's are my favorite. The problem people have with Norlin's seems to have a lot to do with cosmetics. There were some poor quality control it seems. However I'm a player not a collector and the are head and shoulders above the rest as the best playing guitars.
