UNRESERVED. Serial#: 520046. Throughout the Classic Rock era of the 1970s, if one mentioned "Les Paul" to a guitarist they usually heard "Deluxe." Made in the image of the original single-cutaway set-neck Les Paul Standard of 1958 to '60 but with a pair of mini-humbucking pickups for the brighter, more cutting tone that many players were demanding, the Les Paul Deluxe ruled the roost for the better part of a decade, and found an enduring place in the hearts of guitarists and collectors alike that has held fast ever since. Crafted in the image of the most revered version of this model from the early '70s, the Les Paul Deluxe newly recreated by Gibson USA offers all the ingredients that helped this instrument stand out from the crowd, including traditional tonewoods and electronics, superb playability, and first-class Gibson craftsmanship.

This specific LP Deluxe was owned by the man himself, and as he had been known to do, personally etched a message to a friend on the back of the headstock.

G; one significant gouge in upper region of neck (13th fret), scratch near the 11th fret, edge wear and dings, dings along headstock; no pickup covers, original tuners replaced and screwholes from the originals present
