Everyone always says it- and I mean it, I hate to have to sell this but...
This is a renecked 1971 Deluxe.
It's had issues in it's past. It's been with me since around 1994. When I got it,the neck was in 3 pieces plus the headstock and the top had been sanded. I contacted Gibson and they referred me to another shop to put a new neck on. That shop put a BIG FAT OL' NECK on it. I put the guitar together over the course of a few years had it refinished. I used it a lot. A few years ago I had the neck shaved down to a more playable shape and the electronics replaced by Ian Anderson of Lentz's shop. Right now it's got a Schaller bridge, GraphTech saddles (I'll include the Schaller saddles), Grovers, SD Custom P-90s, and a 70s Gibson TP. The case is original as far as I'm aware- as I've tracked ownership of the guitar back to the mid-80s, because of the case.
Even if you're not intending on buying- ask questions, as this guitar has a really interesting story behind it. It's not a collector's piece, but it's a kickass rock and roll guitar- and it's more solid than ANY other LP.
I don't sell gear- so please bear with me. I'd like to ask $1200, but feel free to make an offer. If you think I'm on crack for that asking price- make an offer- I have no point of reference for a renecked Deluxe. I'll take pics of anything you'd like pics taken of. PM me for phone # or anything you don't feel like putting in a reply.
Cons-
It's renecked and refinned
It's not "clean"
There's a non-structural split in the top
Pros-
It's a '71 Deluxe
It screams
It was shaped by Ian
Here's some pics I snapped this morning: ask for others-
There's a small amount of flame in the center piece of the top
The back:
Just how fat is that neck? From L to R 1959 LP Special, 1971 LP Deluxe, 2001 R8.
You'll never have to worry about a headstock break...
This is a guitar you don't have to be afraid of playing. You don't have to be afraid of taking this guitar to "a smokey bar." You don't have to worry about bumping into a mic stand or anything short of a .50 cal bullet penetrating this guitar. It's solid.
Here's an old pic of the neck cavity:
Ask questions or just laugh at me.
Thanks guys.
