Les Paul Deluxe 1975 – Wonderful Guitar – Mojo in every pore
Here's a great genuine 1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe.  This example is in pretty nice condition, with play wear showing it was well-loved and well-played.  It has some nicks and scratches, probably less than you'd expect from a guitar with this much seasoning.  The neck has a lot of play wear (finish thinning) along the sides next to the binding, there is considerable light buckle rash and shallow scratches on the back, some dings on the edges, etc.  The player still took good care of it – the top, headstock and back of the neck are really in nice shape.  There is a small spot on the back which is thru the finish.  Neck pickup has a little slant but functions perfectly and could be adjusted pretty easily.  Overall pretty good condition for a 41 year-old guitar with a lot of play. 
And what a player it is!  This Deluxe sounds great and plays like a dream.  Low action, nice hard, dark rosewood fingerboard, all electronics work great.  If you buy this guitar, do it because you want to play it or because you just think it’s so freakin’ cool (which it is), or both.  DO NOT buy it because you want a collector's piece.  This guitar is in the exact condition it was when I bought it 12 years ago.  I make no claims that every part is original – I just have no way to know.  The pickups appear correct.  The tuners are definitely replacements – with all the hours of play this one has seen, the original Klusons probably just flat wore out.  Looks like it may have had a nicely done pro fret job years ago.  I do guarantee this is a genuine, vintage, 1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe.  The neck heel/volute area has never been cracked, broken, repaired, etc.  No signs of any wood repairs, neck reset, or any of that stuff.  Comes with a Gibson hardcase – unknown if original. 
This guitar was played by someone who loved it and played it a lot.  Tons of  mojo.  I hate to part with it, but I have 8 Les Pauls and have to part with most of them and most of my other gear as well.  I’m retiring and don’t want my wife to deal with the collection if I croak.   
Shipping $50.   Shipping to continental USA ONLY.  NO international sales. Prefer PayPal for payment.  Thanks! 
This is a vintage guitar with normal cosmetic wear and tear. It functions perfectly and plays like a dream. Returns only accepted if I have inadvertently misrepresented the guitar in some way. Bid with confidence - never had a negative feedback in 15 Ebay years.
