Looks, plays and sounds great, straight out of the box!
I was a little apprehensive about buying a Gibson online - their quality control hasn't always been the best - but the Les Paul 70's Deluxe I received is a good one!
Everything is as it should, apart from some very minor scuffing on the control cavity plastic cover.
The plain top looks really nice with the translucent wine red finish. The fretboard has a nice grain. Weight is good. I haven't weighed it yet but estimate 8.5lbs.
Playability out of the box was good, but I felt the action on the bass side was a little high. I lowered it to just under 2mm at the 12th fret. Treble side was fine.
The neck profile is a rounded C and is one of the reasons I bought a 70's Deluxe: it's nicely between a vintage 50's and 60's slim taper and suits me perfectly.
The mini humbuckers are excellent! Bright and punchy, they really cut through but without any harshness.
Overall, I'd highly recommend the Les Paul 70's Deluxe - it looks and plays great!
