Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation for a great Les Paul, this is always the one I point them to - a 70s/80s Gibson The Paul/Firebrand. These are fantastic guitars for the money. In stock condition, they have the same electronics as a Les Paul Custom. This means TTOP pickups which can sell for a pretty penny on their own (this is the reason why people part these guitars out quite frequently.)
Body construction wise, they are a little different. A The Paul will have a walnut body and neck, however these were later rebranded as ‘Firebrand’ guitars and the Deluxe models were made of all mahogany. The only thing missing on a deluxe model is the maple top as compared to a Les Paul Custom. Cosmetically, they are missing the binding, mother of pearl logo and fancy block inlays, but what these The Paul/Firebrand guitars have over them is a slightly thinner body with comfort cutaways on the front and back of the guitar! This makes the guitar incredibly comfortable to play AND it helps keep the weight down. These are generally 8.5-10lb guitars which is reasonable for a 70s/80s Les Paul.
These are also great ‘project’ guitars. You can pick up a husk of one of these for less than the price of a Les Paul studio and transform it into your dream guitars with the help of your luthier. If I had to choose one Les Paul and money WAS a factor - this would be it!
If you’re ever asking yourself - ‘What Les Paul Should I Buy’ or ‘What’s the Best Les Paul for the Money?’ It is this one.
The only ‘downside’ to these guitars - depending on who you are - is they generally have slim 60s necks and the frets are the typical low/flat frets. This means extreme bends might not be as easy for you if you do a lot of them. If you prefer taller frets stock - I would suggest an early 90s Les Paul Studio with an ebony fretboard.
