A Decidedly Modern Les Paul in the Gibson Lineage
The Les Paul Modern Figured Refresh carries the iconic DNA of the Les Paul and updates it with woodworking and ergonomic choices designed for today's stage and studio. The lightweight body, figured top, and "Modern" contoured heel provide comfort, projection, and sustain, while retaining the presence and warmth that made this model legendary. Depending on the finish, the Modern series may vary in details; the configuration described below corresponds to this particular variant.Who Is This Guitar For and What Styles Suit It?
Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, this Les Paul excels in rock, blues, pop, and hard rock, as well as funk and modern music requiring rhythmic precision and sharp attacks. The SlimTaper neck allows seamless transitions from powerful riffs to singing solos, both on stage and in the studio.Sound
The 70s Tribute humbuckers selected for this version deliver a wide spectrum, with full mids, firm lows, and detailed highs. Combined with the mahogany body (for depth) and figured maple top (for brightness and articulation), they offer a quick response and generous sustain. Hand-wired electronics, Orange Drop capacitors, two independent volumes, a shared tone control, and a 3-position selector switch make it easy to explore textures ranging from vintage crunch to defined modern lead, while maintaining great clarity in the mix.Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered in a hard case, it will be perfectly protected during your travels. For routine maintenance and optimal playability, choose a set of nickel electric strings 10-46 (compatible with this scale length), a quality strap, and a robust 6.35 mm jack cable to preserve signal and reliability on stage.Technical specifications
