  • The new Gibson Les Paul Modern incorporates many contemporary updates that players have embraced such as lighter-weight bodies and innovative slim taper neck with asymmetrical profiles. The Modern fingerboard is crafted with genuine ebony and a compound radius for lower, and cleaner action. The neck/body joint features the new Modern contoured heel for effortless access to the highest frets as well as maximum sustain and stability. Hardware upgrades include Grover locking Rotomatic tuners, clear top hat knobs and BurstBucker Pro and BurstBucker Pro + pickups. The control assembly features 4 push-pull pots to switch between the Gibson humbucker and the single coil P90 sounds, both of which have defined so many genres of music across multiple generations since we invented them, phase switching and pure bypass for functional and versatile sonic variety. The new Gibson Les Paul modern is here to shape sound for future generations.

    That was outstanding. As was mentioned farther down the thread, the clean tones were incredibly helpful. And the overdriven tones still allowed the Burstbuckers and the guitar's playability to be felt. New subscriber.

    I've had a LP Modern for a couple months now, and none of my other guitars are getting much play ever since I got it. Other than it being heavier than I'd like (so much for the weight relief...), it is otherwise perfect. Best sounding guitar I've ever played. First time the coil-splitting sounds good, imho. Use it quite a bit.

And even tho it has no striping or burst it's still very, very beautiful and plays and sounds like a wet dream....not to mention the ebony fretboard and real m.o.p. inlays. I'm keeping this one!🙂

    Gibson got so close to my dream Les Paul here. The “Axcess” heel joint was better because it was more refined, IMO. I also think this model would’ve been better with no pick guard.

    • @GuitarTalkWithBrian
      @GuitarTalkWithBrian 4 роки тому +1

    I’m almost convinced. But I still want to know how it compares with a standard 50’s or 60’s. Does it have same warmth, especially for lead parts? And most importantly, does it feature the same bourbon and diesel soaked magical aural fairy dust that those models are rumoured to have?
