Full Description
View Full DescriptionRefined Les Paul construction
This model builds on the traditional Les Paul formula with thoughtful modern updates. The Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body reduces overall weight without sacrificing the core tonal character, making it far more comfortable during long rehearsals or gigs. Paired with a carved AA figured maple cap, it adds brightness and definition to the sound while enhancing visual appeal. The result is a balanced instrument that retains the depth and sustain Les Pauls are known for, but with improved ergonomics for everyday use.
Premium neck and fretboard feel
The mahogany neck features a SlimTaper profile that feels fast and responsive without being overly thin, making it ideal for both rhythm and lead playing. The bound ebony fretboard adds a smooth, premium playing surface with excellent durability and a snappy response. Acrylic trapezoid inlays provide that unmistakable Les Paul aesthetic, while the Modern Contoured Heel makes upper fret access far more comfortable. Together, these features create a neck that feels refined, playable, and ready for demanding performance situations.
Versatile vintage-inspired pickups
Equipped with a '57 Classic in the neck and a '57 Classic Plus in the bridge, this guitar delivers rich, vintage-style tones with plenty of clarity and output. These pickups capture the warmth and smoothness of classic PAF-style humbuckers while still offering enough power for modern playing. Whether you're after clean, expressive passages or driven tones with sustain and bite, they respond dynamically to your playing style and amp settings, making them incredibly versatile across genres.
Advanced switching and stable hardware
Push/pull controls on both volume and tone knobs unlock a wide range of tonal options, including coil tapping for single-coil-style sounds, phase switching for distinctive textures, and Pure Bypass for a direct, uncoloured signal. This makes it easy to adapt your tone on the fly without external gear. High-quality hardware, including Grover Rotomatic tuners, an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a stop bar tailpiece, ensures excellent tuning stability and sustain, so you can rely on consistent performance every time you play.
