Modern Les Paul Power With Endless Control
This Gibson Les Paul Modern in Faded Pelham Blue is built for players who love classic Les Paul punch but want lighter weight, faster feel, and way more tonal flexibility. It keeps the soul of a great LP and adds all the modern tricks that make long gigs, studio sessions, and complex rigs feel effortless.
Ultra Modern Weight Relief, Classic Mahogany Punch
The mahogany body with maple top gives you that familiar Les Paul thump, bloom, and sustain, but the ultra modern weight relief keeps it from being a boat anchor. At 9 pounds it still feels substantial, yet it sits on the shoulder comfortably and resonates freely instead of feeling like a block of concrete.
The gloss nitrocellulose finish lets the wood breathe and age, and in Faded Pelham Blue it just looks dangerous in the best way. Under stage lights this thing pops, but up close it has a slightly broken-in vibe that keeps it from feeling too precious.
Asymmetrical Slim Neck & Compound Radius Ebony Board
The asymmetrical slim taper neck is one of those profiles you notice in the first five minutes and then forget about because it just feels right. It fills your hand a little more on the bass side, stays sleek on the treble side, and the modern contoured heel makes those upper frets feel like home instead of a reach.
The ebony fingerboard with a compound radius lets you run low, clean action without choking out bends. Chords feel solid down low, lead work feels glassy and controlled up high. Medium jumbo frets give you enough meat for expressive vibrato without feeling like speed bumps.
Burstbucker Pro Firepower With Studio-Grade Control
Burstbucker Pro Rhythm in the neck and Burstbucker Pro + in the bridge give you everything from thick, singing sustain to tight, articulate crunch. They stay clear under gain, clean up with the volume knobs, and still have that chewy midrange that makes a Les Paul sit perfectly in a mix.
The electronics are where this guitar really goes into “Swiss Army knife” territory. You get coil-tap on both pickups, phase switching, and a pure bypass mode that sends the bridge pickup straight to the jack. That means legit single-coil snap, quacky out-of-phase textures, and a built-in solo boost, all without touching your pedalboard.
Locked-In Hardware Built For Real-World Use
Grover locking Rotomatic tuners, an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and aluminum stopbar tailpiece keep things rock solid and resonant. The Graph Tech nut helps with smooth tuning stability, especially if you live on the bends and vibrato.
Clear top hat knobs, black pickguard, and chrome hardware pull the whole look together. It is modern, sharp, and ready to hit any stage without looking like everyone else’s burst.
