Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 1974-75 Tobacco Sunburst w/Non Factory Humbuckers

In late 1960, Gibson replaced the Les Paul body shape with the SG design. When the original Les Paul was relaunched in the late '60s, the new "Standard" in the catalog was dubbed the Les Paul Deluxe and sported mini-humbucker pickups. Between 1972 and 1976, if someone ordered a Les Paul Deluxe with regular humbuckers instead of mini-humbucker, the guitar would have the word "Standard" on the truss rod cover and would essentially be a Les Paul Standard. The Les Paul Standard was reintroduced as a separate catalog item in late 1975. 

Unfortunately this is NOT one of those guitars. This is one of the instances where a previous owner got their hands on a mini humbucker Les Paul Deluxe and wanted to get their Tobacco Burst Slash on. The routing for the full sized humbuckers leaves a bit to be desired, but it gets the job done. As long as you keep the pickups in the body you'll never notice and no one else will ever be the wiser.
