Gibson is constantly looking to renew itself, and the Modern series is a great example of this.

The concept is simple: take a proven formula and give it a touch of modernity to make the Les Paul even more versatile and fun to play.

The Les Paul Modern Studio takes up a well-known and renowned formula: a mahogany body topped by a maple top with a sober finish (the Smokehouse Satin colorway stands out superbly), a super comfortable glued mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile accompanied by its ebony fingerboard. Also, we find the classic but effective pair of Gibson 490R/498T microphones, which have marked entire generations with their warmth and dynamics.

Now, let's add the Modern ingredients with a heel cutout to make access to the treble as easy as possible, a body with Ultra-Modern lightening cavities for even more ergonomics, modern electronics integrating push/pull potentiometers on the volumes to access the split coil of the microphones, on the tones to trigger either a Pure Bypass (direct signal) or a phase inversion.

Delivered with its Soft Shell case, this Modern Studio is just waiting for you to have fun during your many hours of recording or live.
