Description

The Les Paul Modern Lite, Rose Gold finish, pays homage to its foundational Les Paul roots while introducing contemporary features that distinguish it. Built with a solid mahogany body without a separate top layer, this iteration embraces a slimmer profile, joining tradition with innovation by creating a lighter guitar. The ergonomic design includes a rear belly cut, offering a snug fit against the player's body, ensuring comfort without compromising the iconic Les Paul silhouette.

The mahogany neck, host to an Indian Rosewood fingerboard, is carved to the SlimTaper profile, tailored for both speed and comfort. Precision is paramount, with a nut width measuring 43.053mm and a scale length of 628.65mm, making for a finely tuned instrument for players who demand excellence. The fingerboard boasts 22 GraphTech-furnished frets, each tastefully inlaid with acrylic dots, combining functionality with a sleek visual appeal.

At the heart of the Les Paul Modern Lite are the open-coil 490R and 498T Humbuckers, delivering a dynamic range that expands the guitar's tonal versatility. The dual volumes and tones provide additional nuanced control. Hardware includes an Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, Black Top Hat knobs, an Aluminum StopBar tailpiece, and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, all plated in chrome. The Rose Gold finish, topped with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer, adds an element of sophistication to the guitar, and each comes accompanied by a soft shell case for protection.
