The introduction of the mini humbucker on a Les Paul, first in 1969 and into the ‘70s, gave the model a new tonal flavor that was tighter and had more bite. The new Deluxe 70s Les Paul 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.
