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 they invented them, along with phase switching and pure bypass for additional sonic variety.
