Gone- 1979 Gibson Les Paul Pro Deluxe - P90's
What's Hot
Its Back!!…and gone again!!! NOW SOLD/TRADED
This has been out on loan to a friend and has now come home..
Selling my '79 Pro Deluxe.
Its in WELL PLAYED condition - no breaks, just lots of genuine playing wear/mojo- neck is down to the wood, plenty of knocks (nothing nasty) on and around the body with a few bits worn through the nitro - the type of thing we pay a premium for from the Custom Shop!!!! - its a real cool looking guitar and with the ebony board makes it a little bit different from the run of the mill LP's. I reckon this could tell a story or 2 - it came from a session guy in Bristol who had owned it for many many years and under the backplate there is mention of a luthier from Australia - so it definitely done some miles.
I think its had a refret (a good one as the nibs have been retained) - plenty of life left.
The pots which I thought were non-original are actually the originals (dates etc match era), it currently has a noiseless Seymour Duncan P90 in the bridge (original in case)
Original Case (not chainsaw)which again is in road-worn condition - it done its job and still is!!!
Plays really well, been setup and maintained by a local luthier, its just something that I can't see myself needing or using in anger..
These are currently fetching upwards of 2.5k from what I can see, taking the condition into consideration, I'm looking at offers in the region of over 2k for this - trades, yes, I am interested in PRS, TA, Suhr - most non-pointy things, no amps though.
Based Swansea-ish and not sure if I would courier it, so meet or if buyer wants to handle and take responsibility for courier/breaks etc then I do have a decent box here and happy to pack it up.
I'll get some more pics up over the next few days.

It’s a Les Paul Pro Deluxe rather than Deluxe Pro.
