Here’s a killer piece of vintage Gibson history with serious vibe and a cool backstory. This 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in Gold Top finish is a true player’s guitar—not a case queen, but a rock-solid vintage machine that’s been played, loved, and kept in working shape its whole life.

This one is mostly original, with a few tasteful and practical modifications:

Professionally re-fretted for better playability
Aftermarket strap buttons
Minor headstock crack professionally repaired and completely stable

The guitar features its original mini-humbucker pickups, which sound full and articulate with that signature chime that sets the Deluxe apart. The gold top finish has aged beautifully, with heavy checking and natural wear that gives it that real-deal relic look money can't buy.

It has been fully inspected and set up by our in-house master technician, Jordan, and it's ready to plug in and perform.

Bonus: This guitar was previously owned by John Bohlinger, a well-known Nashville player and host of the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown series. It’s got both tone and provenance.
