Gibson 70s Les Paul Deluxe, 70s Cherry Sunburst Overview
The Gibson 70s Les Paul Deluxe is more than a blast from the past. It's a shrine to Gibson's insanely high standards of craftsmanship and knack for getting the feel and tone of their creations just right. You'll be blown away by the rich, purring tone of the Mini Humbuckers, which were first introduced in 1969 - they kicked off the sound of the '70s. Hum-free, they deliver an ultra-clear sound, with slightly more brightness and punch than their larger counterparts - they'll shine in any genre.
Feel your riffs like never before. The Rounded C mahogany neck gives a glimpse of what the player so the '70s would have felt in their hands. Smooth, satisfying, and incredibly easy to play, it'll let you riff all night long. An Indian rosewood fretboard provides unbeatable sustain and a powerful response, whilst the Tune-O-Matic bridge keeps your tuning steady as a rock. The maple top lends itself to a beautiful finish, whilst the cutaway design enables superb upper fret access. This is modern, professional craftsmanship combined with inimitable '70s Gibson charm. Prepare to be blown away.

A golden era for guitar. The 1970s saw numerous guitar-driven bands make their mark on the world, in the form of Led Zeppelin, Black sabbath, and many more.

If you want a vintage-style guitar that's ready for any stadium tour, you've found it.
Mini Humbucker magic
Small but mighty. The Mini humbuckers loaded into this guitar are capable of great things. They offer the same hum-free performance that you'd expect from regular humbuckers, but offer a slightly brighter, punchier tone. Expect your licks to come to life with a rich, fat voicing and plenty of vintage character. Through this dynamic duo, chords will sound huge, whilst solos are guaranteed to cut through the mix.
Perfect playing
Lusciously smooth. The mahogany neck is a real pleasure to play. You'll find it incredibly easy to navigate, with the rounded 'C' shape affording your hand natural comfort. Every chord will feel easy to reach, and every lead line will feel fluid and free. On top of this, the mahogany creates a warm resonance which beefs each note up and helps it reach its full sonic potential. It'll get you excited about playing guitar.
Rosewood luxury
Dark and defined. The rosewood fretboard on the 70s Les Paul is a sight to behold. Offsetting the green of the body, it truly makes an impression on the eye – but it's not all about looks. This sleek, refined piece of wood has been expertly crafted to bring you the purest playing experience. Your fingers will dance along its surface, whilst your notes will ring with sustain and warmth. All your riffs are sure to shine on this powerful fretboard.
