{"product_id":"gibson-les-paul-deluxe-1973-goldtop","title":"Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (1973), Goldtop (Pre-Owned)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduced at the end of the 1960s, the Les Paul Deluxe became one of Gibson’s defining guitars of the 1970s. Its calling card was the pair of mini-humbuckers, neatly mounted into P-90-sized surrounds and offering a distinctive alternative to the larger humbuckers found on the Les Paul Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1973 example wears the wonderfully evocative Goldtop finish. Underneath lies the familiar Les Paul recipe of a mahogany-based body with maple top, set neck construction and rosewood fingerboard, producing the weight, resonance and sustain expected from a vintage Les Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mini-humbuckers are where the Deluxe earns its particular personality. They retain the thickness and low-noise performance of a humbucker but add extra focus, bite and articulation. Clean sounds have definition and sparkle, while an overdriven amplifier brings out a wonderfully vocal midrange with enough edge to cut through a band mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing a vintage guitar, its age-related wear forms part of its individual character and history. Please study the photographs carefully for the cosmetic condition of this particular instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1973 Goldtop Deluxe is more than an attractive old Les Paul. It represents a fascinating chapter in Gibson history and offers a sound all its own. Plug it into a willing valve amplifier, turn the wick up and those little mini-humbuckers explain the rest rather eloquently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54785018724685,"sku":"P266989","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/7075\/4893\/files\/P266989-01.png?v=1789818501","url":"https:\/\/www.mosmusic.co.uk\/products\/gibson-les-paul-deluxe-1973-goldtop","provider":"Mo's Music Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
