Gibson didn’t make a Les Paul Standard model in 1975 (officially reintroduced in 1976) but the Les Paul Deluxe models routed for Humbuckers could be factory\u003c\/span\u003e-ordered or produced in small runs \u003cspan\u003eessentially turning it into a Les Paul Standard.  Still stamped “Les Paul Deluxe” on the back of the headstock but factory routed for full-size Gibson T-Top Humbuckers, this is a great example of one of those special orders. These transitional-era instruments are becoming increasingly appreciated for exactly this reason.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e this particular guitar is \u003cspan\u003ea great example of a Norlin-era Les Paul.  solid weight, a lively acoustic response, and forward midrange presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pickup combination that makes it especially versatile. The original T-Top in the bridge delivers clear, articulate vintage tone, while the DiMarzio Super Distortion in the neck adds a thicker, more aggressive voice that works great with the bridge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition-wise, this is very much a player-grade instrument with honest wear throughout. The finish shows checking, dings, and natural aging that give it a ton of character. At some point in its life, an additional switch was added near the controls and has since been filled, along with a few small filled holes on the back. Importantly, there are no headstock breaks or major structural repairs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt has been professionally refretted in recent years and plays extremely well.
