Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured, Cobalt Burst

Full Description

Lightweight body with figured AAA maple top

The Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured features a sleek and lightweight mahogany body with a beautiful AAA maple top. This combination not only enhances the visual appeal of the guitar but with the Ultra-Modern weight relief processing, contributes to a more comfortable playing experience. The lighter weight of the body allows for extended playing sessions without straining your shoulder and neck muscles. The figured maple top adds a touch of elegance and character to the overall aesthetic of the guitar, making it a standout instrument in any music setting.

Fast-playing SlimTaper neck profile

Designed with the modern guitarist in mind, the Les Paul Modern Figured features a SlimTaper neck profile. This neck shape provides a streamlined and comfortable playing experience, allowing your fingers to glide effortlessly along the fretboard. Pairing with the neck profile, the Modern Figured Les Paul features the Modern Contoured Heel joint. With this, you can effortlessly access the upper registers of the fretboard. Whether you're unleashing soaring solos or exploring the higher octaves, the contoured heel ensures that you can comfortably reach every note without any hindrance.

Genuine ebony fingerboard with compound radius

The Modern Figured comes equipped with a genuine ebony fingerboard, known for its slick and smooth feel. Ebony is a dense hardwood that not only enhances the tonal characteristics of the guitar but also offers excellent durability. The fingerboard also features a compound radius, meaning the curvature of the fretboard changes as you move up and down the neck. This allows for lower and cleaner action, ensuring that every note you play is articulate and defined.

Versatile pickup configuration

The control assembly of the Les Paul Modern Figured is packed with versatility. It features four push-pull pots that allow you to switch between Burstbucker, and single-coil P-90 sounds, providing you with a wide range of tonal options. The push-pull pots also offer additional sonic variety with phase switching and pure bypass functionality, enabling you to experiment and explore new sonic territories.

Premium hardware upgrades:

The Les Paul Modern Figured comes equipped with top-quality hardware upgrades. It features Grover locking Rotomatic tuners that ensure precise and stable tuning, so you can focus on your playing without worrying about your guitar going out of tune, alleviating the problems of traditional Les Pauls.
