The new Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured incorporates many contemporary updates players have embraced, such as a lighter-weight mahogany body with a figured AAA maple top and a comfortable, fast-playing SlimTaper neck profile. The Modern fingerboard is crafted with genuine ebony and has a compound radius for lower and cleaner action. The neck/body joint features the Modern Contoured Heel for effortless access to the highest frets and maximum sustain and stability. Hardware upgrades include Grover locking Rotomatic tuners, clear Top Hat knobs, and Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker Pro pickups. The control assembly features four push-pull pots to switch between Gibson humbucker and single coil P-90 sounds, both of which have defined so many genres of music across multiple generations since we invented them, along with phase switching and pure bypass for additional sonic variety. The new Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured is here to shape sound for future generations.
