This is a 1999 Les Paul Deluxe, a limited edition model that features mini humbuckers, originally introduced during the 1968 reissue of the Les Paul. Purchased used in July 2023, this guitar has had its capacitors replaced with Sprague 157pF 01mfd 100V units. The instrument retains its original pickups and pots, with only the capacitor updated.
The guitar offers a bright, punchy sound with excellent clarity, thanks to its mini humbuckers, which provide a lighter, more articulate tone compared to full-sized humbuckers. It balances power and nuance, capable of delivering everything from jazz-clean tones to crunchy overdrive, with a responsive feel that captures subtle nuances in playing. Weighing approximately 4.663kg, it has a substantial but manageable weight, with a strong low-end presence that enhances the mini humbuckers' character.
Condition-wise, the guitar shows signs of age, including scratches and dings consistent with its vintage status. The fretboard has about 80% fret life remaining, with no significant uneven wear or warping. The neck is straight, with no twisting or twisting issues, and the truss rod functions well, allowing for easy adjustments. The setup is comfortable, with ample fret and neck clearance for reliable playability.
Please note, this item is sold as-is, with no claims or returns after purchase. Feel free to ask questions or request additional photos if needed.
