Full Description

The Future of Modern Playing

Classic design. Modern innovation. The Epiphone Les Paul Modern builds on a legacy of excellence, taking the guitar that shaped the 1950s and giving it new life. This is sure to prove a favourite for the contemporary player. Are you ready to meet the next generation of the world's most popular design?

Take your playing to new depths with two signature humbucker pickups. Epiphone have redesigned the classic double coil to create something fresh, exciting, and nuanced. Each Probucker is critically acclaimed for its warm, textured tonal palette and high output punch.

Versatility redefined. Elevate the iconic sound of the 50s to a whole new level. The Modern can do it all with treble bleed, coil splitting, and phase switching. Want tone that shimmers and jangles? Looking for warm, balanced audio? Need to keep your high frequencies intact when rolling back the volume? It's all possible, all of the time.

A Guitar that Shaped a Generation

Few guitars are as iconic as the Les Paul. With its single cutaway design and perfectly sculpted curves, it's easy to see why it took the 50s by storm. Now, it's been reinvented to usher in a new music revolution.

Crafted from solid mahogany, this is a body that sings with sweet sustain. Both pickups are mounted directly onto a maple cap, resonating with the natural charisma of the tonewood. The results are obvious. Warm, textured tone that's as recognisable as it is unique. And with added weight relief, you'll be playing for hours without fatigue.

If there's one thing the Modern is known for, it’s its easy playability. Whether you're a seasoned slayer or a laid-back rhythm player, finger positioning is simple on an ebony fretboard that's been given an asymmetrical slim taper. Thanks to a contoured heel, you have unlimited access to reach stratospheric lead lines. Down low, you can play chords in comfort. This is about to change everything you thought about shredding.

Bridge the Gap Between Practicality and Perfection

The future of electric guitar. Epiphone have worked tirelessly not only to bring you enhanced playability, but to deliver tuning stability that far surpasses the industry standard.

Discover pitch perfect playing with the LockTone ABR bridge. With the ability to adjust each string length using the corresponding screws, you can achieve impeccable intonation. There's a reason why Epiphone have kept this innovative design for over 60 years.

But the bridge can't take all the glory. Your strings will be singing in key thanks to Grover's signature Rotomatic machine heads. Admired worldwide, these tuning machines mean business. Rest assured that your tuning will stay rock solid, no matter what environment you find yourself playing in.

Tonal Control for the Versatile Player

You're not a one trick pony. So you need a guitar that can do it all. The Epiphone Les Paul Modern has been tried and tested across a myriad of genres, bringing its bespoke flair to each party.

Go from bright high end to rounded lows with the 3-way pickup toggle. This sensitive selector is everything you need to take your tone on a journey it won't forget.

Just like Bonnie and Clyde, two Tone pots work in harmony to bring depth and texture to your guitar sound. Dial your high frequencies with full tonal control of each pickup. This is timbre that is sure to turn heads, no matter where you are.
