The Story

Limited Edition 1976 Les Paul Deluxe Reissue Red Sparkle Top

This is a fun one from the Gibson Custom Shop, a reissue of the 1976 Les Paul Deluxe with all vintage-accurate appointments and an eye-catching Red Sparkle finish to the maple top. The period-correct features include the larger '70s headstock design, a mahogany 'sandwich' body with a maple spline, three-piece maple neck carved to a '76 slim profile and aged pearloid trapezoid inlays. Being a Deluxe, this one has Mini-Humbucker pickups which folks love for their midrange punch and tight low-end. Each '76 Deluxe Reissue includes a Lifton reissue hardshell case and the Gibson Certificate of Authenticity.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
