Krusty Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hey all, Has Gibson discontinued (again) the LP Deluxe that was only sold through Musician's Friend? I picked one up a couple of months ago, and it's a great guitar. I'm surprised that the production of these seems to come and go. Krusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabredog Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hey all, Has Gibson discontinued (again) the LP Deluxe that was only sold through Musician's Friend? I picked one up a couple of months ago, and it's a great guitar. I'm surprised that the production of these seems to come and go. Krusty I picked up one of these in a guitar Center and played it for about 30 minutes, last year. I thought it sounded so good I almost bought it. but my Les Paul HP seems to do everything, has the tone covered. but those mini humbuckers aare super excellent. you can easily make them sound very similar to a single coil, and then they go into full beautiful on bucking mode super flexible guitar, a lot of guitar players that like string attack when you roll the gain back a little bit like narrow field pickups, it's becoming a thing again narrow field humbuckers I recommend giving it a try for sure they really thought through the design of those pickups, they are top shelf.

Megafrog Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 American Musical Supply has them. Any thoughts about the finish on the 2018 models? I have not seen on in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 my first les paul ever was a gold top deluxe.... I really should replace that, it was a mistake to trade it.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerad12 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 my first les paul ever was a gold top deluxe.... Those are awesome guitars. I would like to get my hands on a gold top deluxe or a tobacco burst deluxe. Love those mini buckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've had my '76 since Summer of '76...it was purchased (barely) used! The lines on the top, are wood grain lines, not finish checking or stress marks. Aside from the small "ding," pictured in the top, it's (basically) pristine. That "ding" was there, when I got it.

CB Yeah, that's nice. I've seen deluxe models with flame tops like the new 2018's Gibson has out, but I've always liked the plain tops and gold tops more with this model.

charlie brown Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 That's the good stuff right there! Yep! I only wish Gibson would have left the smaller headstock, instead of going to the "boat paddle!" But, "C'est La Vie!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Q Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Best model of LP that Gibson made. The pickups on mine chime and jangle. Just posted pics of my Deluxe with the Historic Makeovers treatment. Check it out. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/142076-my-historic-makeovers-lp-deluxe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 fret Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have a 1974 Deluxe that has served me well for the last 40+ years. At one point I changed the magnets to get more umph...I couldn’t find/afford replacements at the time. I recently switched back to alinco magnets and I wonder what I was thinking! Ahh, I was such a kid. It’s a great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
