Gibson The Paul: Difference between revisions
The Gibson archives and the actual Firebrand guitar truss plate says that the Firebrand is the deluxe. Not the walnut version. You have it backwards in the description. |

The Paul THE PAUL STANDARD
Description: A single sharp cutaway Les Paul-style walnut body, set walnut neck, 22-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl dot inlays, walnut headstock overlay with gold Gibson logo (1978-1981) or Gibson logo branded into the headstock (Firebrand, 1981-1982), three-per-side tuners, tune-o-matic bridge, stop tailpiece, two exposed humbucker pickups, four knobs (two v, two tone), three-way pickup switch, chrome hardware, available in Natural Walnut finish, 24.75 in. scale, 1.6875 in. nut width, mfg. 1978-1982. It included such high end items as the Grover tuning keys and the Tune-O-Matic bridge. Affectionately called by some, "The Coffee Table Burst" [1] because of its natural finish[2].
The Paul Deluxe: (Firebrand) similar to The Paul Standard, except has a mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck, available in Antique Natural, Ebony (1985–86), Natural Mahogany, or Wine Red (1985–86) finish, mfg. 1980-86. There is pricing information available for purchase for this model.
In 1996, the model was resurrected with the Paul II, with a mahogany body and carved top like a Les Paul Studio instead of the flat top of prior models of The Paul. The body is 2/3 as thick as a normal Les Paul and features a rear belly cut as well. In 1998 The Paul II was replaced by The Paul SL, itself discontinued in 1999.
