A 1976 Les Paul Deluxe Reissue with a bold blue color twist

The Les Paul™ Deluxe has always held a unique place in Gibson history, with its unmistakable voice, distinctive character, and beauty. This Limited Edition 1976 Les Paul Deluxe Reissue, crafted by the artisans of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, brings that spirit roaring back with extraordinary accuracy and a bold new attitude. Inspired by years of Made to Measure special orders and the creativity of the Gibson Custom luthiers, this reissue channels everything that made the mid 70s Les Paul such a standout while giving it a distinctive finish.

At the heart of this model is the period-correct mahogany-and-maple “sandwich” body construction, topped with a carved maple cap and topped off with a striking VOS Blue Sparkle Top nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The combination delivers classic 70s sustain along with a voice that’s articulate, lively, and unmistakably Deluxe. Single ply binding around the top tastefully frames the finish, keeping the focus on its vibrant color and vintage accurate contours.

True to the era, the neck is carved from three-piece maple and shaped to the Authentic 1976 profile. It is equipped with a rosewood fretboard adorned with aged pearloid trapezoid inlays, reissue medium jumbo frets, and a comfortable 12 inch radius that makes string bends and chording equally easy. A long neck tenon ensures exceptional stability and sustain, making the guitar feel solid and responsive. A nylon nut, single ply binding, and period-correct construction details complete the neck’s historically accurate specifications.

The unmistakable sound of a 70s Deluxe comes from its mini humbucker™ pickups, accurately recreated here for their articulate punch, tight low end, and shimmering clarity. With two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way toggle pickup selector switch, the guitar offers a range of sounds that excel in everything from clean rhythm tones to singing lead work. Chrome hardware, including an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge and a Stop Bar tailpiece, delivers vintage-correct style and rock-solid reliability, while Kluson® Deluxe tuners and cream plastics complete the aesthetic.

Offered as part of the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection, this 1976 Les Paul Deluxe Reissue, VOS, Blue Sparkle Top, stands as a tribute to a distinctive moment in Gibson history. It comes packed in a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case for protection and portability and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
