Contemporary Construction

Made of lightweight Mahogany with a beautiful AAA Figured Maple top, this Les Paul Modern holds the same rich, warm, and dynamic tones as the standard, whilst giving you the benefit of playing for long periods of time with ease.

The slim tapered neck profile provides you with fast and comfortable access to move around the neck for some technical fretwork, whilst the modern contoured neck joint allows you to reach the higher ends of the fretboard without restriction.

The overall construction of the Les Paul Modern caters for the modern player, giving you a classic look and style with contemporary comforts to suit a range of different playing styles.

Electrifying Tones

Gibson’s Burstbucker Pro and Pro+ produce an incredible sonic palette, ranging from iconic humbucker tones to versatile sound thanks to the push pull controls that split the Burstbuckers to give you a P90 style tone. The high-output humbuckers deliver a clear mid-range, with plenty of gain and growl for a punchy, loud, and clear tone.

Thanks to the push-pull control knobs, the Les Paul Modern produces clean and articulate single-coil P90 tones that give you a versatile axe and the flick of a switch. The controls also include a pure bypass and phase switching for you to create unique and sonically impressive soundscapes.
