Man those guitars are set up so goooood! So I’m am looking at a72 deluxe. I have a traditional prolV kit from the factory. I used to have the 72 ,and I always wanted it back. Now days I have An Hand K tri amp 150 and have actually started going with tmy strat because of the abundance of gain . I wanted to hear how they respond to a lot of gain and a clean setting . That’s just an exceptional sounding deluxe ....I sure hope man can produce like that!!
After a detailed scientific study of the professional humbuckery in this video I have established that sometimes the full-size humbuckers sound 'nicer' ( this is a scientific term) than the mini humbuckers, however sometimes the mini-humbuckers sound nicer than the full size humbuckers. This is true in both clean and distorted states. Your perception may vary. If anyone is interested I have scientific studies that show Gibson SG's can seem more SG-ish than Les Pauls although a later work of mine appears to show also that Les Pauls tend to sound more Les Paulish than SG's. I am not allowed within 50 yards of any guitar shops in continental US and Europe at the moment so a lot of further study is on hold.
Really great comparison video. I personally much prefer the mini humbuckers. Less treble and more clarity, far more articulate. Thing is i prefer the look of the double white humbuckers.
Great comparison... hear a bit more output on the Standard, as well as more bass response -- suppose that figures, considering the width of the pickups, and probably amount of wire... Never played a Deluxe myself. They were always this mysterious LP model that no one I knew ever had or played.
Surprised that other than the lower output of the mini-humbuckers, I don't hear more of a difference in the sound. I think the Delux has a little more variety of sound, and I like it better with overdrive playing high up leads, particularly on the neck pickup. It's smoother. It can also sound just a little more like a Strat or Tele played clean. I have a 71 Delux.
It is definitely not maple, so I think you are right - mahogany. It changes the sound. I have a classical with cedar neck. It’s a very expensive luthier guitar. The neck bowed up so I had the luthier modify it with a carbon strip in the neck to stiffen it. Unfortunately this completely changed the sound. More sustain but it lost some smoothness and warmth. So, less noticeable on an electric, but the neck wood will definitely affect the sound. Maple is stiff wood, so I think it would be less warm. Maybe part of why a strat has a snappy sound, which is also the result of the longer string length vs a Les Paul. PRS somewhere between the two.
@@Friedrich664 Deluxes for the era when yours was made (69-73) are some of the most desirable from what I understand . The later period maple necked models from the later 70's/early 80s aren't as highly sought after but the one featured here certainly appeals to me.
The top carve on the deluxe is different than the Standards. I don't like it as much, i mean the Deluxe has a "carved top" but it's different some how, and not as attractive to me.

I've played my 81 deluxe for 25 years, and she's never let me down.

Great video! Preferred the 81 on the clean and the 80 on the driven personally
Great playing ans great guitars, a pleasure to listen to

Helpful video thanks
I've never owned a Deluxe, and never thought I'd say it, but of these two guitars, I'd prefer the Deluxe. Wahi' Valleys
As soon as the first notes came out of the Deluxe I knew I was buying yet another guitar
Es tan buenísimo el video que me suscribo....!!! El look de las double cream es hermoso y el sonido de la mini es excelente. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The 80 model with the split coil humbucker style sounds much better. Great video
Yes, big difference
Both are cool
Barry Bailey of The Atlanta Rhythm Section and Scott Gorham were Deluxe players
Also Neil Finn

I believe that your 71 Deluxe has a mahogany neck rather than this 81 Deluxe which has a 3 piece maple neck ?

I think my guitar is broken it doesn't sound like that
The mini hum are a little weaker by comparison. The humbuckers are also broader sounding...bigger
It's by design.
