1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe – Cherry Sunburst

This 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in Cherry Sunburst has just been set up with a comfortable low action and plays exceptionally well. It remains mostly original, with only two small replaced parts: the truss rod cover screw and one screw on the neck pickup ring. Everything else is consistent with early‑’70s Gibson construction and hardware.

Cosmetically, the guitar shows light play wear on the body and some belt rash on the back—typical for a well‑loved vintage instrument. The neck and frets are in great condition, and the guitar is structurally sound with fully functional electronics.

A modern Gibson Les Paul hardshell case is included for safe transport and storage.

Please review all photos for the most accurate representation of condition. Feel free to make us an offer.
