My pal bought a 79 Deluxe, (in route), I was able to nail down a little, but it is an unkown to me regarding history. Here is what I know, maybe someone knows more. I'd appreciate any info.
1979 Les Paul Deluxe, excellent all original condition, unmolested 100% stock.
Two piece bookmatched figured, (lightly and lovely), Eastern Rock Maple.
Correct Kalamazoo style Sunburst Finish. The warm brown burst used before Cherryburst and a classic Kalamazoo signature color. Not almost black/yellow Tobacco Sunburst ala Nashville.
Maple three piece neck with Kalamazoo modified long tenon visible in neck pup cavity.
Correct Kalamazoo body shape.
I know of 4 others in Cherryburst, same specs, all lefthanded. In 79 Kalamazoo only made custom factory run, special dealer runs or customer specific custom order Les Pauls. This ring any bells??
