Classic Les Paul Punch With A Modern, Stage-Ready Edge
If you love the look and roar of a traditional Les Paul but want something lighter, faster, and way more flexible, this Les Paul Modern Figured in Cobalt Burst hits that sweet spot. It keeps the thick, singing Gibson voice you expect, then layers in ultra modern comfort and switching that lets you cover an entire set with one guitar.
AAA Figured Maple Top, Ultra-Modern Weight Relief
The mahogany body with Ultra-Modern weight relief keeps this one at a comfortable 8.4 lbs. It still has that classic Les Paul sustain and midrange grind, just without the shoulder-ache after a three hour gig. You feel the resonance against your ribcage, not a boat anchor around your neck.
Up top, the AAA figured maple cap under that deep Cobalt Burst looks flat out luxurious. The gloss nitrocellulose finish lets the wood breathe and age naturally, so the tone keeps opening up the more you play. Single-ply binding on the top and fretboard frames it all with that timeless Gibson elegance.
SlimTaper Neck, Ebony Board, Compound Radius
The mahogany SlimTaper neck is built for players who like to move. It fills the hand just enough to feel solid but never slows you down for fast lines, big stretches, or long sessions. The Modern Contoured Heel makes upper fret access feel almost superstrat easy, so those 15th fret and above bends and chords are no longer a reach.
The ebony fingerboard brings snap and clarity to the attack, with a compound radius that keeps chords comfy near the nut and bends buttery smooth up high. Medium jumbo frets give you a confident grip on the string without feeling clumsy. It is the kind of neck you stop thinking about and just play.
Burstbucker Pro Firepower With Serious Flexibility
Burstbucker Pro in the neck and Burstbucker Pro + in the bridge cover a ton of ground. You get that thick, singing humbucker voice with a glassy top end that stays articulate when you stack gain, plus a tight low end that does not get muddy when you tune down or hit big chords.
The real magic is in the electronics. Two push pull volumes let you coil tap for brighter, more single coil like tones. The push pull tones unlock pure bypass and phase options, so you can jump straight to a wide open, unfiltered sound or get those wiry, hollow textures for funk and indie. Clean, edge of breakup, or full saturation, this guitar gives you all the shades in between with just the controls on the top.
Locked In Hardware, Stage Ready Details
An aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece keep things lightweight yet solid, so every note feels anchored with clarity and sustain. Grover Rotomatic locking tuners with keystone buttons make string changes quick and keep tuning rock steady, even if you lean hard on bends or big vibrato.
Chrome hardware, clear Top Hat knobs, black mounting rings, and the optional black 5 ply pickguard and switch washer give you the choice between sleek modern or more classic dressed up looks. Everything feels tight, precise, and ready for real world stage and studio duty.
