Les Paul is a legendary jazz guitarist who has had an immeasurable influence on the electric guitar and its playing style in the history of popular music. Gibson created the signat ure Les Paul Model in 1952, bearing his name. Since then, the Les Paul model has undergone various changes over the years, but it continues to be loved by guitarists worldwide as a standard in the electric guitar world, with a diverse lineup including vintage reissue models and even models inspired by other companies. The Les Paul Standard was re-produced in 1968, and was quickly redesigned the following year in 1969 to feature the "Les Paul Deluxe," featuring two mini-humbuckers. This particular guitar is from 1981. In addition to the highly sought-after gold top color, it also features an ebony fretboard, which is extremely rare for a Les Paul Deluxe, which typically features a rosewood fretboard. 【body】 The total weight is approximately 4.5 kg. The body is made of a maple top and a solid mahogany back. The beautiful gold color remains beautiful with only slight unevenness. There is some weathering, dents with paint chipping, some scuffs, and some tarnish on the metal parts, but overall it is in such good condition that it doesn't even show its age. 【neck】 The neck is made of three-piece maple. The fingerboard, one of this instrument's most distinctive features, is made of ebony. While this is a common feature on the "Les Paul Pro Deluxe" and "Les Paul Custom" models of the same period, ebony fingerboards on Les Paul Deluxes are extremely rare, making them a collectible. While there are minor scratches around the headstock and some tarnish on the metal parts, this guitar, like the body, is in excellent condition. The tuners operate reliably and with no significant variations in winding feel. The frets, originally set low, show some wear near the lower frets, but there are no issues with choking or other issues, and playability is excellent. The nut width is 42.9mm. The neck shape is moderately thick and provides a secure feel. [Electrical system] The controls are a classic layout: 3-way pickup selector, 2 volume controls, and 2 tone controls. The pickups and other electrical components remain in their original condition. In addition to its natural resonance, the solid, weighty body produces sustain, perfectly blending the crisp, crisp tone characteristic of mini humbuckers with a lustrous, solid midrange. From clean to crunch to drive, this guitar offers a wealth of expression.
