2015 Les Paul Deluxe in Pelham Blue
Richard Moffett
Friend and student Ryan McGurk brought his newest guitar for me to checkout. As always, touch the pic to enlage each image.
The following is excerpt from the Gibson website…
Faithfully re-created with Mini Humbuckers designed by Jim De Cola and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter. Electronics offer push/pull coil split on each volume and Orange drop capacitors with 15dB boost. Like other 2015 Les Paul models, the 2015 Les Paul Deluxe commemorates the visionary’s birth with a special 100 Les Paul headstock hologram. Other features include an asymmetrical, rounded C neck profile, adjustable zero-fret nut, plain maple top and removable pickguard.
