Gibson Les Paul Modern Studio Wine Red Satin

Merging Gibson’s no-nonsense Les Paul Studio formula with a whole host of cutting-edge features, the Les Paul Modern Studio represents the very peak of Les Paul performance. Leading with an Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body topped with a carved slab of maple, this guitar delivers all the tonal heft of a traditional Les Paul at a weight that’s easy on your shoulders. On the opposite end, the speedy SlimTaper neck comes adorned with a glassy ebony fingerboard shaped into a decidedly modern-feeling 12–16-inch compound radius. What about the tone? Gibson’s hard-hitting 498T and 490R humbuckers unleash a high-output, rock-ready roar, emboldened with versatile switching controls. You also get a comfortably contoured neck heel, elegant Grover Rotomatics with keystone buttons, and a rock-solid Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge. All wrapped up in a handsome nitrocellulose finish, the Gibson Les Paul Modern Studio is the definitive axe for the guitarist who favors old-school Les Paul looks but requires the very best of modern playability.
