This is a unique, great-sounding guitar. In his book, The Les Paul Legacy, author Robb Lawrence states "Meanwhile, the hidden Standard (1970 to 1975) was actually still alive as a Deluxe with factory-routed, full-sized humbuckings, but by special -order only. Humbucking-equipped Les Pauls were shipped in small quantities, yet remained a specialty item . . . Even the full-humbucking Deluxe serial numbers had the 'Deluxe' name on the headstock."
