Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 70s FULL DEMO, REVIEW, and PICKUP COMPARISON
John uncases, takes apart, and plays the popular Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 70's with mini humbuckers. We also compare mini humbuckers to regular humbuckers and P90s with playing examples on a Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s and an SG Special with P90s.
Should you buy the Les Paul Standard, Les Paul Deluxe, or a Les Paul with P90s?
DROP A COMMENT: What is your favorite LES PAUL PICKUP?
FROM GIBSON:
First released in 1969, the Deluxe saw the introduction of the mini humbucker to the Les Paul lineup. Mini humbuckers retain the hum-free performance of their fullsized cousins but with a somewhat clearer and brighter tonality. The Deluxe has features that were inspired by those early models from the 1970s, with a non-weight relief mahogany body and bound maple top, a bound mahogany neck with a rounded C profile, vintage-style Keystone tuners, Graph Tech nut, and a traditional Les Paul control layout with 2 Volume and 2 Tone controls wired with Orange Drop capacitors.

The standard sounds the best to me 👌. Had a 1978 ebony standard I sold to help finance daughter's education abroad. Miss it.
I love this guitar. It's pretty great to be able to swap out P90's, and I think Firebird pickups also fit in there. That finish is great.
Nice one, guys.
Beautiful guitar!
Excellent sound and grateful a real player demo played it for us! You'd be surprised how often an occasional player demos a guitar. Cannot really tell what the guitar sounds like unless the playing itself runs through styles that show off the tones, brightness, bass and depth. Thank you for that! Big Time!
The decision to use the Mini-humbuckers in the P90 covers, was that of Jim Deurloo. When the doors at Kalamazoo, closed in 1984, Deurloo, along with JP Moats, and Marv Lamb, started the Heritage Guitar Company, renting a small portion of the Parsons St. complex.
Thanks for a great comp.
My 79 Deluxe,I bought new, is wine red. When they reissued the deluxe in the early 90s , they offered it in wine red, and that color has also been offered on the traditional.
I still have it. I guess it’s vintage now, as I am.
I think I fell in love with the mini's. They definitely split the difference in sound, and I thought the clarity was dead nuts on. Beautiful Axe!
After I win that green Les Paul, my next want is a gold top deluxe. I love the mini buckers
It even has the tapped holes in the metal brackets for P-90s...Nice!😎👌
Nice demo guys. I have the mini's in my Firebird, and I really like them. A bit brighter than the full-sized humbuckers, but all of the growl, clarity, etc.
loving that SG - thanks for the comparison edits
Excellent playing! That Les Paul is gorgeous 😮
LP Deluxes RULE!!!
Great comparison, thanks! Really impressed with this one - only listened to the clean section (if it sounds good clean then OD / Distortion / whatever will be fine IMHO) and the balance and clarity were excellent. Great looking, too - ok . . . shallow comment but the burgundy is right up my street - I bought the Epi Cantrell 'Wino' to mod pick-ups and wiring and the colour played a part along with the ebony board and overall build.
I’m late to the party on this video, but still want to comment. I had a Deluxe in that same color back in the day. It was a 1976 model. Multi piece maple top with the sandwich body, and three piece maple neck. I loved that guitar, but sold it in the early 80’s do to financial problems. So, when this version was introduced, I was excited. But the first ones were all cherry sunburst. However, a used one became available to me. It is the cherry sunburst model. It is a 2022 model. I LOVE the sound and playability of it. The new ones are (in my opinion) built much better than the original 70’s models were. They are a solid mahogany body (not a sandwich build) with a two piece maple top (not a three piece) and they have the mahogany neck, which I like better than the three piece maple neck on a guitar like this. The other big advantage to the new models is, if you noticed when you removed the pickups, there is a metal plate that will accept the P90 pickups. Not modification needed. However, I prefer the mini humbucker, but the P90’s are a great sounding pickup as well. I will keep this one forever (unless I am offered a wine red one in a trade), I love playing it, and it is a good alternative to my Heritage H-150 (Les paul style built in the old Gibson Kalamazoo plant). These are great guitars, that many simply overlook just because of the mini Humbuckers. And yet most have never actually played one.
Great video
Oh man!!! got that G.A.S. feeling. Why is the "next" guitar, NEVER enough!? What a guitar. Thanks for sharing guys! Great work.
been looking at grabbing a les paul for a while and this one is beautiful!
Was thinking the same thing! Between a P90 and a humbucker! I liked the comparison section a lot!
Back in the day around 1980 i helped my friend install a dimarzio distortion bridge in his , i think it went in without any wood carving , just installed by mounting the pu ring ! I now own one but it had both pu's converted to regular sized nickle cover gibsons. i'm thinking of installing mini back in but its scarred , took out a pickups and saw the wounds !
😮oh my goodness love that color it's a beauty
I'm very lucky to be an owner of this guitar model. They are fantastic -- easy to play, wonderful pickups. Really cuts through in jam settings.
thats a nice guitar....... its a shame though that the Standards price was jacked up again..... $3K..... whew..... thats alot of dough....... I hope Gibson realizes alot of folks just cant afford that kind of coin for a guitar.....
Crazy, just a year and a half ago it was 2499 for a standard
@@jarredbaca8112no it wasn't. That was the faded models that were that price and you can still get them for that. The regular finish les pauls were 2800
I had a '60's Kalamazoo made Epiphone Wilshire 12-string equipped with mini-humbucking pickups. I've liked the sound of mini-hums ever since. I finally got a Goldtop Deluxe a couple of years ago. Super cool guitar, IMO.
I'm guessing its pretty heavy eh ?
My 1977 Les Paul Pro Deluxe Came with P-90s and in Wine Red and I have same year Ebony . I’m not not a weight relief guitarist by no means. And I have a 1972 Wine Deluxe with Mini humbuckers I prefer as a back up I’m a P-90 guy.. either through JCM. 800 Marshalls or Hi-Watt all three Smoke best ones I’ve ever owned!!!!
This video is better than my eyes. Crispy 👌
Sounds great ... too heavy....love the neck profile....great demo and review guys...I'm going to see if I can find a lighter one !
What a top!! Love the look!
Go ahead, tease me with that SG just when I can't find one! Lol. Nice video.
I’ve always preferred the aesthetics of the LP Deluxe and like the sound. Nice.
So close to 50K Subs WOOHOOO!!!
Are you doing both the right hand and left hand demos? If so, that's really impressive.
I’ve only seen a handful of early 70s Les Pauls with the mini humbucker like mine, that have “Gibson” embossed in the pick up covers. I’ve seen a lot of review reviews of these newer versions of the 70s deluxe, but no one has really explained to me how come some of these guitars were fitted with the Gibson branded/embossed pickups. Anyone care to try?.
I have one of these in cherry burst. It's such a good guitar but super heavy!
The deludes sounds great!
only 900 subscribers and then Custom LP giveaway time! Can't wait. I want a 70's Les Paul.
Love it!
49k let’s go lads!
I would rather win the Les Paul deluxe than the custom shop guitar,wonderful thiugh it must be, but I love those red mini humbucker deluxes, because I used to own a beautiful sounding black one, and stupidly let it go swapping it for an amp which I don't even still have! I allways wanted the dark red ones I saw but couldn't track one down.
Almost to that 50k!!!
John and Zach…The latest EPI Adam Jones Les Paul is out! 3rd in the series. Hoping you are going to review!!! Thanks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gorgeous guitar
Nice playing good video
Curious what cordless drill you’re using.
Honestly, I have regular humbuckers, will likely pick up a P 90's 50's but for a semi similar tone I'ld prefer the thunderbird since I have other les pauls.
Minis cut through the track so nice
That 70s Les Paul looks super cool…
i just boutght a trad pro v and now thinking of trading it for this
nearly at 50k! that guitars nearly mind!
thats what I say...... lol
You guys are so cool
Well, it's a pretty guitar....I love this looks....BUT the model with the full-size humbuckers is what I prefer. The sound is fuller and "more mature" if that makes sense.....more suitable for jazz and western swing.
Nice Les Paul
Love the deluxe. The first Gibson Les Paul I ever put my paws on was a Deluxe. Don't recall the year but it was a natural finish (not sure it was factory) and the thing was AMAZING!!!
The regular HB's definitely have more low end. That's a beautiful LP.
For sure the regular HBs have that low end, kind of cool to hear the crisper attack of the minis in comparison. Thanks for watching, I agree!
Are you SURE you didn’t have the Tone rolled off on the neck P90..?!
And that kids is way you throw away mini hum buckers and install P-90s
Loooooove deluxe
Dope
If only had MOP inlays, it’d be great.
Hope Gibson introduce a lefty Les Paul Deluxe.
Those mini humbuckers are not at all short of a big sound!
No , not at all eh.
mini hums for the win
haha so weird to want $3000 for a copy of something i could have had for pocket change back in the '90s. i passed up a nice black deluxe then that i wish i'd snagged but i was totally into strats for some insane reason
Seems like Gibson is going full blast to the past. Maybe one day they will make guitars the working musician can afford.
Side comment here... or rather a request. There are plenty of arguments for and against coil tapping and or splitting versus non tapping/splitting. For the sake of simplicity, despite the real differences in the two methods, let us call it "splitting" for this comment.
Any chance of a video showcasing the features, and an honest opinion when buying an expensive Gibson, let's say, if the "split" is SH*T, or if the feature has no detraction and all plus sides? Also welcome is a dive into split vs tap.
I have guitars with and without, and I do find I actually enjoy the option. I just do not know if I am losing a quality of sound on the humbuckers when not "split" on models that have been built with that option. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
I'm sure others can chime in too, but my simple answer is that if you are going to have this feature on a guitar, I generally find a coil SPLIT to be better than a coil TAP. A coil tap to me, like on the Gibson Les Paul Studio, sounds less effective to my ears from what most people expect when they use either term, which is a humbucker/single coil sound. The split, as found on for example the Epiphone Les Paul Studio, sounds more true to that effect in my ear. However, it does bother me, and there's not much of a way around, the loss in volume with the split that occurs when splitting the humbucker. The coil TAP I see as more of a "tone modifier" switch rather than a single/humbucker split. I know many people prefer lots of wiring options on guitars. Me personally (and everyone is different) I prefer very simple controls and don't need extra switches, and even in the case of the coil split, it does have an effect but it doesn't sound as good as a true single coil sound. I would rather switch guitars in a set and go from Les Paul to Tele or Strat or whatever than have a "one guitar that does everything," but that's just me. Many players I talk to love the split option. This is a good topic you bring up, and thanks for watching
Cooll
I had an early 70 deluxe with mini humbuckers in wine red. They were definitely not as nice as the guitar you’re looking at. The mahogany body was a sandwich of a number of pieces of wood by that I really mean a sandwich split right down the middle with a thin piece of wood between them. The wine red was darker you had to put it in full sun to see the wood grain of the top. Also the workmanship was sloppy. There’s a very good reason guitar players started looking for older instruments in the 70s because Gibson and Fender were putting out junk. Making them as fast and as cheap as possible. The new guitars of today are much better. That includes many made overseas.
nothing wrong with 70s guitars compared to earlier. the real reason some players used older ones is the same as now, or the promoters wouldn't pay them enough to buy new ones.
Lucky 13th like!
I really love the color of the 70s but the sound is off imho. I was watching a few videos and it sounded thin-ish. Not exactly the sound I would expect, lest to say to pay 2600 for.
It's too bad the new ones doesn't come with a maple neck (as the late 70's ones did). All Gibsons should have a 3-piece maple neck with a volute. It's a much better construction than the one piece mahogany ones.
That's an old finish. I had the energy red finish on my Les Paul Studio back in the late 90"s. Gibson is really pushing the envelope with their finish choices 🤣😂😂
Adjusting the tone knobs on the guitar and amplifier, are critical to the final sound and the right comparison…..
Deluxe Sounds like the English band The Who.
Another comment for the algorithms.
I wish these had the volute.
LPs are like a beautiful woman..even the shape is about right😮😅
That was intentional in the design
This guitar is nice and I love the color but I already own a Firebird with mini humbuckers and would rather have a Les Paul standard with either burstbuckers or 490 series. However, Gibson does not currently offer a Les Paul standard with this color and if anything it’s just a testament to how Gibson once again doesn’t listen to its customers but listens to some idiot with a college degree!
Mini humbuckers and firebirds are not the same at all.
@@AJ-rr4xi I’m not exactly sure what you’re getting at. Every Gibson Firebird (reverse, and non-reverse) I have seen come with mini humbuckers or mini P-90s. I have seen a few with full-size humbuckers but they were modded on.
This is a recurring error in all videos !
