Allmänt
While utterly devoted to the unmistakable styling of its original '60s ancestor, the Gibson Modern Collection Les Paul Classic comes with a few highly appreciated and performance-boosting tweaks. The classic foundation is provided by a mahogany body finished with a maple top, and has been given the '9-Hole' weight relief treatment, which thankfully eases the notorious back-breaking weight of a standard LP. The bound, 12" radius rosewood fretboard has been loaded with 22 medium frets and coupled with a Slim Taper neck profile to make for superior grip-comfort, whether grabbing chords or hitting licks. This modern classic also comes complete with hard shell case and Gibson accessory kit.
The Modern Collection Les Paul Classic: Supple Tone
The Les Paul Classic comes loaded with a pair of 60s BurstBucker pickups to deliver all of the supple '60s tone you would expect but with the extra punch of a pair of bare, uncovered coils. On top of that, Gibson have gifted this sonic beast with a bank of four push/pull pots. So every tone and every volume pot can be popped to engage the coil-tap, phase switch or pure bypass, splitting open fresh worlds of LP-based sound and confirming the sheer jaw-dropping dominance of this flexible instrument. Naturally, all of this potential comes solidly backed up by the stability of an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a set of Grover Rotomatic tuners.
