The Les Paul Pro, also known as the Deluxe Pro, was a variation on the Les Paul Deluxe that used P-90 instead of mini-humbucker pickups. This model also featured an ebony fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. In 1978 the Les Paul Pro Deluxe was introduced. This guitar featured P-90 pickups instead of the "mini-humbuckers" of the Deluxe model, an ebony fingerboard, maple neck, mahogany body and chrome hardware. It came in Ebony, Cherry Sunburst, Tobacco Sunburst or Gold finishes. Interestingly, it was first launched in Europe, rather than the US. It was discontinued in 1983. These are very rare guitars and considered a collectors item. Guitar is in good shape with many years of  remaining. Fretboard and frets are in very good shape with at least 80% remaining on fret wire. Body and finish hows some wear - see pictures - not bad for a 36 year old players guitar.
