Description
Epiphone´s Les Paul Modern electric guitar brings a vintage icon into the 21st century. Part of Epiphone´s "Inspired by Gibson" collection, the Les Paul Modern has a bound maple top, mahogany body and trapezoid fingerboard inlays for timeless style. But a contoured heel, weight relief, coil taps and phase controls make this Les Paul a choice pick for players who want advanced features in an affordable, ergonomic instrument.
Contoured Heel and Asymmetrical Neck Profile Enable Comfort and Speed
The Les Paul Modern´s mahogany neck has a contoured heel, allowing easier access to higher frets. Its asymmetrical SlimTaper profile feels rounded behind bass strings for warmth; the treble side flattens out for faster playing. This ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue for long practice sessions and performances.
ProBuckers and Advanced Controls Provide Tonal Versatility
Epiphone´s ProBuckers have impressed even the most discerning tone connoisseurs. Their vintage-inspired sound complements the Les Paul Modern´s resonant wood. Coil-splitting taps each pickup for single-coil tones, while phase switching creates a "hollowed-out" sound. A treble-bleed circuit maintains high-end clarity when adjusting volume.
Grover Locking Rotomatic Tuners Keep the Les Paul Modern in Tune
Grover Rotomatic tuners are an industry standard for precision and durability. Their 18:1 gear ratio provides unparalleled tuning stability for the Les Paul Modern. Locking tuners also make string changes fast and frustration-free. From the tuners down, Epiphone designed the Les Paul Modern for performance.
