The Pro Deluxe was produced from late-1975 until 1982, but the main production years were 1976-1980. Versus a normal deluxe, it featured an ebony fretboard and p90 pickups instead of rosewood+mini humbuckers. Additional differences include the PRO model getting the better Gibson-branded Schaller M6 tuners and speed knobs before the 1978 transitioning point for other guitars. Neal Schon of Journey fame used one of these, but he later routed it for humbuckers and a floyd rose! It recently sold at auction for $250,000. 0:00 - Intro 0:15 - Les Paul Deluxe History 1:14 - The PRO Deluxe History + Colors 1:58 - PRO Deluxe vs Deluxe Differences 3:28 - Years of Production PRO Deluxe 4:43 - Spec Variations 5:44 - Famous User 6:10 - Workbench / Specs 17:31 - Clean Tones 18:58 - Dirty Tones 20:24 - Mini Humbuckers vs P90s Same Amp / Settings For Comparison 21:54 - Final Thoughts Affiliate Links are found in this description + comments section - clicking and purchasing items from partners will help financially support the show. ❓Private Help Sessions ➡️ https://troglysguitarshow.com/help-appraisals 💰New to Reverb?
