Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Finish Question Help Needed
My Les Paul has the same marks, but in a different place... stands melt nitrocellulose.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Finish Question Help Needed
I feel like a new dad with a fragile child. Cases and straps can melt the finish. OH GOD WHAT DO I GET!!???
(I got a Dog Tired white cotton strap with plain leather ends and a Version two Gibson Protector case like it would have came with.)

The high E broke. I think the strings are old. While the strings are off, I got pics of the bridge and stop tail. I also used some wood oil on the fretboard. Looking nice!

You love your new guitar so much. It's great to see.

OMG, that is one of the best LPs I have ever seen!
Ever since I saw Pete Townshend playing a Deluxe with the minihums, I wanted one. You have won the guitar internet today!

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
Thanks! I was stuck on it as soon as I saw the body. No fancy flame, but still beautiful wood. I respect your taste in guitars a lot and appreciate your thoughts. <3

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
Thanks! New strings on. Sounds beautiful. Kinda like a louder noiseless single coil. Less meat than a full humbucker, but in a cool way.

I've owned many Les Pauls over the years...the most memorable was a Black 1978 Deluxe. Just a KILLER guitar!

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
Freaking gorgeous dude! That finish is beautiful, espically compared to those clown burst deluxes. Those mini hums are really a treat as well. There aren't many Les Pauls I'd consider owning, but that is one of the few. Enjoy it!

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
Thanks! I am pretty sure these protector cases are safe for the finish. I still check it every few hours. LOL

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
I don't like the way Les Pauls look, except for the Deluxe with the minis. There's something about it. (I like Juniors and Specials with the single tailpiece just fine too.)

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
The mini humbucker ones kind of catch my eye as something off. Not in a bad way, but I am so used to Les Pauls with humbuckers, the smaller pickups look kind of right, but different enough for a double take.

Re: 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
This is exactly why I’ve been gassing for one lately, they just catch the eye ...and then you had to go and get such a lovely one, huh, Chris?!
