Description

The Les Paul Modern Lite takes the classic style of the notorious Les Paul, but instead, is built with a new thinner Mahogany body. This makes the guitar both lighter and well-balanced. The body of the guitar features a belly cut on the rear – this makes the guitar more ergonomic, and more comfortable, so you are able to play for even longer sessions!

The Mahogany neck has a Rosewood fretboard and is shaped with a fast-playing SlimTaper neck profile. If you are looking for a guitar with pickups that are suited for any style of music, then look no further – The Les Paul Modern Lite is powered by open-coil 490R and 498T humbuckers which provide a wide range of sonic tonal quality.

Key Features

  • Lightweight – This makes the guitar easier to play, and easier to carry, while still retaining the classic Gibson tonal quality.
  • Belly Cut – The rear of the guitar features a belly cut, which makes the guitar more ergonomic and comfortable.
  • All Mahogany – The guitar body and neck is created with all Mahogany, making this guitar really resonant, with high quality tonal wood.

Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, Gibson became legendary with instruments like the Les Paul, SG, and ES series, each known for their rich sustain, premium tonewoods, and iconic designs.

Played by greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young, Gibson guitars continue to represent timeless quality, innovation, and a deep connection between player and instrument.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
