The Epiphone Les Paul Modern builds on the classic Les Paul design while adding a host of modern enhancements. Its weight-relieved mahogany body keeps the traditional tone and sustain you expect from a Les Paul but makes the guitar noticeably lighter for long playing sessions. The Asymmetrical SlimTaper mahogany neck offers a comfortable “D” shape on the bass side and a flatter “C” shape on the treble side, while a contoured heel ensures effortless access to the upper frets. With these player-focused upgrades, the Les Paul Modern is equally at home on stage or in the studio.
 
The guitar’s versatile electronics are anchored by a pair of Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers, a modern recreation of the legendary PAF design with Alnico II magnets for rich, warm tones. Coil splitting, phase inversion, and treble bleed functions are accessed via push-pull volume and tone knobs, delivering an extensive palette of vintage and contemporary sounds. Grover Rotomatic locking tuners with an 18:1 ratio provide precise tuning stability and quick string changes, making the Les Paul Modern a reliable, high-performance instrument for serious players.
