The Gibson Les Paul Modern is a forward-thinking take on Gibson's most legendary design, incorporating contemporary playability features and versatile electronics while preserving the mahogany and maple tonal core that defines the Les Paul voice. The weight-relieved mahogany body with an AA figured maple top retains the thick, sustaining character Les Pauls are famous for while reducing overall weight for improved comfort during long sets. The SlimTaper neck profile with an asymmetrical shape is noticeably faster than vintage Gibson necks, with a compound radius ebony fingerboard that transitions from a comfortable curve for chords to a flat surface for effortless bending in the upper register. Burstbucker Pro Alnico V pickups with coil-splitting via push-pull controls deliver the full range " from classic Les Paul thunder with rich harmonics and creamy sustain to bright, snappy single-coil tones that were previously impossible on a standard LP. A phase switch adds further tonal options, including hollow, out-of-phase sounds. Modern appointments include locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Nashville Tune-o-Matic bridge, and the Handcrafted in Gibson's Nashville facility stamp. This guitar is ideal for advanced and professional players who love the Les Paul sound but want modern ergonomics and expanded tonal options. The weight, even with chambering, is still substantial compared to bolt-on designs, and the price reflects Gibson's premium positioning.
