A Modern Heir to an Icon
Part of the lineage of iconic Les Pauls, the Modern Figured "Refresh" updates the classic codes: body weight reduction, redesigned ergonomics, and expanded electronics. It retains the Gibson character while offering the precision and stability expected by today's guitarists both on stage and in the studio.
Who and What Styles?
Perfect for intermediate to expert guitarists, this Les Paul excels in rock, pop, blues, hard rock, and fusion. Its playing comfort, dynamics, and extended tonal palette suit both powerful rhythm playing and singing leads, with enough clarity for modern arrangements.
The Sound
The mahogany/maple combination delivers dense mids, tight lows, and silky highs with generous sustain. The humbuckers provide full, creamy tones; the push-pulls allow access to sharper single coil/P-90 type timbres, useful for funk, pop, or clear arpeggios. Phase inversion opens up finer textures, while pure bypass frees a direct and punchy signal for solos.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Nickel string set 10-46 suited to the 24.75" scale length, leather strap, capo for electric guitar with modern radius, 6.35 mm straight/angled jack cable, stable guitar stand, and microfiber cloth for maintenance. Hard case included.
