This is one cool deluxe! I first saw it for sale back in WYRON Episode 99 and a viewer of the show ended up buying it and then many years later, I ended up buying his whole Les Paul collection in order to get "The Yeti" Brazilian Rosewood Top Les Paul Custom back. Since then, I traded it to a viewer of the show in exchange for two consignment pieces he was going to drop off - a Zoot Suit SG and a The Paul Reissue. He has since brought it back for consignment! This is a great deluxe that had a few hidden secrets "under the covers." It is a great example of a "use-up-the-parts" guitar from the late Norlin era

I really like this guitar, traditional looking finish with nice figuring. I even like the bright sounding pickups! A win for whoever gets this guitar?😊
If mini humbuckers were good enough for Scott Gotham and appeared on all his thin Lizzy tracks on the Albums they can’t be that bad ❤❤
Legend has it Gorham wasn’t at all happy with the mini humbuckers when he got the guitar, but that’s what the band’s management bought. Either way, he made ‘em work!
@@ddbrock9675I believe the story goes that Scott wanted a used burst or custom, but he took a look at the prices and politely settled for a deluxe. Robbo also had ideas of getting a custom, but the band just didn’t have the money at the time, so they each got a deluxe.
And yeah. Scott has been on record saying that he didn’t like the mini humbuckers. He got some great tones out of them, but I probably wouldn’t want the mini humbuckers if that was my only guitar.
He also hated the deluxe as his was apparently a real boat anchor.
@@haggismcmutton4702- Robbo eventually routed his for full sized humbuckers
Works for me.
My dad bought and still has a 73 Deluxe. Extremely underrated and under-appreciated pickups. He gigged the guitar 200 days per year for about 8 years. Such a workhorse.
What a fantastic Les Paul. The mini humbuckers are so clear and detailed. I do like a lower output pickup though.
Vintage gibson pups are in a class all their own. Sweet sound
Not only does it look great for 38 y.o. I think those pups are really sweet sounding. I have a re-issue Deluxe that I love.
For some excellent Les Paul Deluxe sounds, you can see Steve Hackett use one to great effect on the Genesis 1973 Shepperton Studio video. I can also understand why he is sitting down through the performance. 🙂
Beautiful! I love the mini humbuckers.
That is one beautiful Deluxe! I've never really understood the hate for mini-buckers tbh. If you dig classic rock tones they are fantastic pups. They are more articulate than regular humbuckers & if you play lead, they are great for cutting through the mix. I dig 'em!
I don't own any guitars with mini humbuckers but I just love their sound and tonality. You don't need a Varitone or any coil splits and taps because you can vary the tone with just the tone control.
Dang that gold top deluxe is my dream guitar. Or the 54’ reissue with the soap bars. Basically any gold top.
Yep..my faves have always been the gold tops too
Looks great, sounds awesome!
Hey thanks to you, that 'for fun' position is how I now look at it when I engage both pickups and that's always a good thing!
Hey Trogly! How about a show in the near future, that you show , and explain, parts! The different style of bridges, tail pieces, back plates, pick guards, control knobs, truss rod covers! Just a show dedicated to explaining gibson parts! Just to help some of us to understand all the different era's of parts, and a history of how they occurred, and why, and what we should look for in original parts, and replacements! Thanks!! Keep the shows coming!!!
The DeLuxe works well (best?) paired with a LP with regular humbuckers, good examples are early Fleetwood Mac & Thin Lizzy. They might seem a bit bright by themselves, but in a band with another LP they really cut through and you can hear the two distinctly different voices.
I have a 75 deluxe. It has standard HBs, 3 piece plain maple top, 3 piece pancake body and 3 piece mahogany neck. Stock from the factory. It has the classic headstock repair seen on many deluxe. At 10lbs its a load to sling around every night. I got it from a friend in the early 80's. He had a paisley tele he was playing and loaned the LP to me. Of course he knew I wanted it and he eventually sold it to me. I've had it refretted ,New nut and hardware over the years. Still plays like butter.
I have a quilted top LP and it is amazing, that top reminds me a lot of mine. I always take off the pickguard if my guitar has a nice top. Swapping out to p90s would be a no-brainer, I love P90s, such great tone, a little noisy, but well worth it.
Yeah, with some models, people get a little too precious about the original pickups. A set of P90s would make this a way better guitar all around. One could always go with some hum-canceling P90s, but also could go with original, period correct Gibson P90s as well.
I love that neck pickup, it is so clear!
Wow this looks amazing & sounds so sweet! I wish there was a version made today without the toggle on top. It just gets in the way for me.
Gibson make a Longhorn version of this!
I love the mini humbuckers;from Duncan to DiMarzio mini humbucks are available from vintage to hi gain. Bright but not ice picking in tone they can easily save a guitar from sounding muddy that has a 24 3/4" scale
Man, that quilt is GORGEOUS
If your anything like me when I get a new (or new to me) guitar I usually play it almost everyday a couple or so times a day. If thats what your doing with that The Paul with the satin finish definitely at least give us an update on how it has faired through the playing. I was trying to see the base plates in the pickup cavity. But not sure if I'm either seeing where those sunken parts of the plates are just the way it looks or if theat may be pop rivets holding it in. Maybe it's just glued in as you said. Those solders looked a little iffy any way. From experience and my instructor when I was young the yellowing around a solder is typically from an unclean surface and or to much hear or to long on materials being soldered. Which usually causes a solder to release as that one did on that pot. Them mini humbuckers have a real sweet full sound together. They sound like you could play from most genres easily . Set up and maybe what the previous owner was using at the time he was using distortion could be what the issue. Also that one wire being unsoldered could've been contributing to the issue he was experiencing .
Beautiful top.I loved my 1999 30th anniversary Deluxe,wish I never sold it
The first Les Paul Deluxe that I remember seeing was Pete Townshend’s #’s 1 and 5, as seen in the film, “The Kids Are Alright”. I wanted one then and there, and still do.
Finally, a Les Paul I could fall in love with - looks, sound, probably even the smell ...oh dear...
i like Les Paul Deluxe guitars. More wood, due to less routing for pickups, and the mini humbuckers are very focused and have a subtle bass, where a lot of Gibson humbucking guitars sound too bassy -- bass heavy. Not the Deluxe! Also, I love that Barry Baily (Atlanta Rhythm Section guitarist) used one -- great player with a great sound!
Very pretty, and an exceptionally good sounding Deluxe.
Definitely nice looking and sounding guitar
Sounds excellent!
Love that thar LP Deluxe , beautiful finish , great sounding all around , Ide wanna play some CCR dude ! I love the Gold Top finish model too !...Thanks Trogly !
Very, very attractive guitar! Almost Rickenbacker levels of clean jangle! New owner will be very happy.
I love the sound of the pickups.
Great sounding guitar!
I've been a viewer for about a year now and I finally was able to get my first LP ... it's a Slash Epiphone and I'm loving it. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a Gibson but for now I'm happy with what I've got (Still waiting to hear that demo showdown between the Gibsons and Epiphone Slashes... BTW)
Owning a Gibson is probably an itch you'll always want to scratch. A used Les Paul tribute is a proper Gibson Les Paul IMO and is usually £600 to £800.
I always get excited when a good ole' Norlin episode comes out!!
Looks glued in the pickup routes. If not, wonder if they’re pinned the mini-humbucker bracket with metal teeth? Prolly not because you need pressure in such a small area but that trips me up. Killer deluxe.
Please review the new studio Les Paul with the Ebony fretboard thanks
Salutations Austin!
I think this is a beautiful Les Paul Deluxe, it has a really nice top, and I think the mini humbuckers sound great.
I wish I could afford it right now, otherwise I would pick it up. Hopefully I could find a really nice top like that when I do have some extra cash floating around in the future.
Thank you for sharing this guitar with us!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
☀️✨🎸
For sure a gorgeous example of a Norlin Deluxe! You might swap the Deluxe minis for sweet P90s, or you could swap them for Firebird minis which are also an awesome but unique tone on their own! And within the Gibson Firebird pup range there are various versions that all have their own tones.
Definitely, there are so many aftermarket options in the P90 style. I'm still kicking myself I let a P90 Tribute Studio get away.
WOW!! $4,300 for a Deluxe! I bought a brand new gold top deluxe and a cherry burst deluxe in 1978 & 1979 for $450 each! Wish I had held on to them!
I remember back in the late 70's a black Les Paul standard was only about $390.00 US.
@@kennyblackbird5674and a pack of smokes cost a nickel, yea we get it, things were cheaper back then
@@777Lateralus nah, the smokes were 75cents in '78.
Sounds great. There is definitely something about those mini humbuckers.
Really cool guitar indeed 😎
The guitar sounded great. Nice Blackbird
I really like that instrument. I would play that guitar even though I prefer SGs.
I prefer SGs too…I often feel like we get slighted by the “LP people”…😢
,I have my 75 Deluxe sinc 89. Although the bridge pickup was replaced by a humbucker I would never change the mini at the neck.
The Mike Ness Deluxe is my favorite Deluxe!!
thats an awesome guitar
I'd like to see a review of one of those early 90's "Jimmy Page" LP models that had the little switches under the pickguard.
Bright, chimey, and clear. Nice.
Talking about heavy, I have a 2005 Les Paul Standard that's 5.2 kgs, thank God I've got an SG as well
I had a 84 that was more of a plant top cherry. I also had a 75 natural that was a much better guitar. It played and sounded better which I guess you should expect from Gibson. The older ones are usually better. But I loved the color of the 84.
That is so close to my birthday serial! 10 days past unfortunately
Seems like the body shape is somewhat different. It looks like the arch opposite the horn cutaway comes out further before it curves, kinda like a Chibson. Is the horn on the cutaway “lazy” as well? Meaning, is it deeper & starched to the neck at the 18th fret instead of the 19th? Maybe that’s what the older Chibson body shapes are based on?
Reminded me of a Firebird for sure. Really bright, mellow, but dark with a bite at the same time. Very unique tone. Nice guitar for sure. Austin, are you sure you want to sell this one? Eventhough it's a players grade, if you get into an immersive experience in the museum and you have players, that may be one of the go to guitars you hand them. Charge a little extra to let them play. I'd do it. Charge $299.00 to play every pickup Gibson produced...
Proper weight for a Les Paul with a beautiful top I think I'd go with some P90,s though 🤘
I saw a bunch of weird (to me) discoloring on the neck inlays around the edges..what is that and is it normal?
Example is at 8:28.
It looks like stain seeped into imperfections in the mother of pearl.
Evening all!!!
Trogoly please review the Gibson explorer custom
Please bro
You're only a click away! th-cam.com/video/RCjg-0hpmj8/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUPZXhwbG9yZXIgY3VzdG9t
Nice top, that D string tuner is on pretty crooked.
Yahoo
I’m excited now!
🥈
That's what She said
That thing is beautiful..That Les Paul model sticker is way off centerline don't you think..
YO TROGGDADDY you ever reviewed a wildwood spec lespaul ?
Hey man, have you ever reviewed one of “the paul?” Models with the Flying V headstock? Would love to see one!
If you're talking about the Marauder or S-1, yes I have videos on those
@@Trog aayyyyy! Gonna look that up!
Z is for late
those pickups sound better that regular humbuckers.. but maybe not powerful enough bridge drive. meh I like it
✌️
This one seems to have an exaggerated/flat upper bout. I guess it's a change from the lazy upper horn era.
Ayy hope you’re having a good night Austin
It’s giving me “The Bowling ball burst” vibes
Play some Thin Lizzy or the Who
Yep Gorham played them minis on all his Lizzy tracks.
@@craigpimlott204 Not so much on his tracks but live. He preferred the minis live because they cut through the mix. Especially with 2 guitars. In the studio he mostly used his 57 Les Paul with PAFs. Just sayin. I love Thin Lizzy
👍
Greetings Andy✌️✌️
@@sgt.grinch3299 Howdy Sgt
Not my fav finish for a Deluxe. Just imagine a blueberry burst or other crazy colours, that would look great.
"Does it still rock ?" Just ask Thin Lizzy and Pete Townshend !!! 😉
ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 💯👍 Thanks Austin.
She is beautiful.
Wow... that action looks mile-high.
Woot woot Trogly's guitars 🎸 🙌
🥉
There's a Peter Green owned Les Paul on reverb for only $30k
Beautiful and far too quiet for my tastes, the brightness is quite pleasing though.
they mystery look like a screw dent
Ya. Some MCR?
🥇
So glad to see an episode where you talk about the engineering, history and construction of the guitar rather than "Ohh this is purple, Oh wait, This is one is green!"
Is there a sonic difference between pancake and not-pancake bodies?
Nope
Catwalk model deluxe. Such a shame that so many originals got routed for humbuckers, but that was what people wanted back then. Nowadays there are so many options, so please leave the originals alone.
Probably the most expensive firebrand ever on Reverb right now; allegedly owned by Peter Green.
Best complement I can give is that I know it's an ad but I couldn't care less.
An ad for his guitar sales, yes
And it worked, because it's no longer for sale. Someone bought it
Is it just me, or does this guitar sound exactly like Schism from Tool?
Looks great but I don't like how those pickups sound. I'd pass.
pretty guitar, but im no fan of a deluxe
oh, it's 'ok' but i honestly don't like that burst. something about it looks a little wonky.
of the cherry sunburst colors - Heritage Cherry is the best!
You gotta start saying weights when you do specs.
He said 10 lbs. 9.7 ounces. @14:33 to be precise.
Is it just me that thinks the top horn looks odd? Not quite rounded enough?
The "lazy" 80s horn. Yes, they are different from tradition
@@Trog good to know. I can see those coming up on Reddit and people saying they're fake because of that! 😆
Gibson has the worst figured tops
First 🤘🤘 I appreciate you Trog 🤘
At what?
Hey Trog...I have to say...I am officially Sickened by the going prices of ALL the Gibson guitars you continue to promote. Not exactly "Your" prices...but Gibson's prices in general. I've been a gigging player for 30+ years and these prices are completely Unacceptable! Gibson has such a bad disconnect from the typical buyer it's beyond laughable. I used to be entertained by your shenanigans...but the cash needed to buy Gibson's and your guitars are just laughable. Real people with Real jobs and budgets could Never afford these overrated wall hangers. Silly, silly shit...
Hi. I found a 1985 les paul standard locally. Know you are trying to document some from this era. Thought about picking it up if you wanna contact me. Thanks
