The Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured merges the timeless appeal of the Les Paul with a host of contemporary updates today's players have embraced. Its lighter-weight mahogany body and figured AAA maple top provide signature warmth, resonance, and clarity without excess heft, along with a stunning aesthetic sure to turn heads. A comfortable SlimTaper™ neck profile, genuine ebony fingerboard, and compound radius work together for smooth, low action near the nut and effortless bends in the higher frets. The Modern Contoured Heel enhances comfort even more, granting unobstructed access to the upper frets for technical solos or challenging chord voicings.
Grover® Rotomatics® locking tuners offer reliable tuning stability, while an aluminum Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece anchor each note with clarity and sustain. Burstbucker™ Pro (neck) and Burstbucker Pro + (bridge) pickups deliver a wide tonal spectrum, and four push-pull pots add coil-tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass options. This versatile electronics array covers vintage-style humbucker warmth, single-coil brightness, and everything in between—perfect for players who refuse to be limited to one genre.
Mother of pearl trapezoid inlays highlight the Modern's upscale look, and clear Top Hat knobs round out the clean, modern aesthetic. Taken together, these appointments create a Les Paul that feels thoroughly modern yet remains true to Gibson’s legacy of craftsmanship. The Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured stands ready to shape the sounds of future generations, just as its classic predecessors have done for decades.
