Gibson Les Paul electric guitar ages like a fine wine. It has a timeless look and sound but like Tangara’s modern interpretation of the classic click-wheel iPod, it wouldn’t hurt to give this classic a dose of modernization and refinement in today’s context. Well, modernization and refinements are exactly what the new Les Paul Modern Studio is about.
An evolution of the esteemed Les Paul Studio line and part of the Modern Collection, this model enhances the traditional Les Paul Studio with features inspired by the Les Paul Modern.
It includes an Ultra-Modern weight-relieved mahogany body with a maple cap, a bound ebony fretboard with a compound radius, a Modern Contoured Heel for superior upper-fret access, and black nickel hardware.
Additionally, it incorporates advanced electronics with coil tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass options for versatile tonal control.
Available in Wine Red Satin, Smokehouse Satin, and Worn White finishes, each purchase comes with a soft shell case. An exclusive Manhattan Midnight Satin finish version is obtainable through the Gibson Garage Nashville and Gibson.com.
The Les Paul Modern Studio is a testament to Gibson’s commitment to fusing iconic design with cutting-edge functionality for today’s guitarist.
The new Les Paul Modern Studio can be had for US$1,999.
