The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Electric Guitar, by Gibson USA, offers all the ingredients that helped the original model from the early '70 stand out from the crowd, including traditional tonewoods and electronics, superb playability and first-class Gibson craftsmanship, wrapped in a high-gloss Goldtop nitrocellulose finish to give it the look of the best-loved rendition of the Deluxes of old.
Gibson USA crafts the Les Paul Deluxe with the same tonewoods used in the most beloved example of the model from the 1970s. A carved maple top is glued to a Grade-A mahogany body that is strategically chambered to both enhance tone and reduce weight. A Grade-A quarter-sawn mahogany neck is carved to a comfortably rounded profile that measures .818" deep at the 1st fret and .963" at the 12th. It is capped with a premium Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and a radius of 12" for easy choke-free bending. Cream plastic binding provides a smooth feel and a classic look. To anchor it all down there's a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece—two innovative classics of Gibson hardware—and a set of vintage-look Tone Pros Keystone Vintage tuners with efficient 16:1 gear ratios.
The Les Paul Deluxe mini-humbuckers are made much like full-sized PAF-style humbuckers with genuine Alnico II magnets but with narrower coils and slightly fewer turns of wire for a sharper, more focused sound. They are perfect for cutting through a heavy band mix, while also going confidently into twangy and jangly genres that Les Pauls aren't usually thought to excel at, without sacrificing any of the depth and muscle that makes a great Les Paul what it is.
