USED Gibson / 1975 Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop / Embossed Cover P.A.F. Mod [05]

We’ve just received a 1975 Les Paul Deluxe with humbucker pickups!!

It features a 70s Gibson-style wood configuration: a 3-piece maple top, a mahogany/maple/mahogany “pancake” body, a 3-piece maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard.

Although it originally came equipped with mini-humbuckers, the previous owner upgraded them to standard humbuckers. The tuners have also been replaced with Grover models.
The pickups currently installed are sticker-numbered P.A.F. models with embossed covers—a design used only for a brief period in the early ’70s—making them a rare model that many collectors seek even as individual parts.

Based on the serial date, it was manufactured between 1974 and 1975. While the pot date for the rear tone control cannot be confirmed via solder inspection, all others are marked 1975; therefore, based on the overall information, we have determined it to be from 1975.

The volute is smaller than typical for this era, and there is a step that appears to encircle the serial number.
While it is possible that it has been modified in the past, other units with similar specifications have been confirmed, so it is not entirely impossible that this is the result of a factory repair or that it was shipped in this condition at the time.
In any case, since there is no definitive proof, we will limit our description to the instrument’s current condition.

The pickup routing was originally a DIY job, but we had it thoroughly refinished by a professional repair technician after receiving the instrument.
We’ve also performed a full setup, and the instrument is in excellent playing condition.

Although the logo has faded significantly, the original hard case and pickguard are included.
* The pickguard is sized for mini humbuckers, so it cannot be installed as-is.
