Classic Les Paul punch with modern comfort and versatility
The Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured is what happens when Gibson keeps all the things we love about a Les Paul and quietly fixes the stuff players complain about. You get that thick, singing LP voice, a ridiculous AAA maple top, and a lighter body that will not wreck your back on a three‑set night.
AAA Figured Maple Top, Ultra Modern Weight Relief
The mahogany body with Ultra Modern weight relief keeps the guitar around 8 and a half pounds, so you still get that low-end thump and sustain without the boat-anchor feel. Real talk, it is the kind of weight that feels solid on a strap, not like a workout.
The AAA figured maple top under a Cherry Burst gloss nitro finish looks every bit as expensive as it sounds. Nitro lets the wood breathe and ring in a way thick poly just cannot, so the guitar feels alive in your hands and responds when you dig in or lay back.
SlimTaper Neck, Ebony Board, Contoured Heel
The mahogany SlimTaper neck with the Modern Contoured Heel hits that sweet spot between fast and familiar. Chords down low feel easy and relaxed, then as you head toward the cutaway the heel carve gets out of your way so you can grab those 15th and 17th fret bends without fighting the guitar.
The ebony fingerboard with a compound radius and medium jumbo frets makes everything feel smooth and controlled. Low action near the nut, effortless bends up high, and mother of pearl trapezoid inlays to remind you you are playing a real-deal Gibson every time you glance down.
Burstbucker Pro Electronics With Studio-Ready Flexibility
Burstbucker Pro in the neck and Burstbucker Pro Plus in the bridge give you that modern take on classic PAF tone. The neck stays thick and warm without turning to mud, while the bridge has enough bite to cut through a dense mix but still stays musical.
Then the four push-pull pots take it way beyond a standard Les Paul. Coil-tap for single-coil snap, flip the phase for funky, hollow textures, or hit pure bypass for a straight-shot, high-output lead sound. One guitar that can live on a pop gig Friday, a rock stage Saturday, and nail clean worship tones on Sunday.
Pro Hardware That Just Works
The aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece lock in intonation and sustain while keeping the feel snappy and responsive. Grover Rotomatic locking tuners with Keystone buttons make string changes fast and keep tuning rock-solid, even if you lean hard on wide bends or alternate tunings.
Chrome hardware, clear Top Hat knobs, black plastics, and that unmounted black pickguard give you options on the look, but right out of the case it strikes a killer balance between classic and modern. It is built to be played hard, not babied.
