Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured Top

Elegant Figured Maple Top

The beautiful figured maple top gives the Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured an eye-catching, modern aesthetic. But it’s not just for looks—the maple contributes to the resonant, singing tone associated with the Les Paul. Underneath, the chambered mahogany body is lighter than the average LP, while still providing the warmth and sustain you expect. Together, these woods create a versatile sonic foundation ready for any genre or playing style.

Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured Neck

Asymmetrical SlimTaper Neck

Shredders will love the asymmetrical SlimTaper neck profile that gives your fretting hand ample room to maneuver. It stays comfortable over long practice sessions or gigs, and the contoured neck heel allows easy access to the upper frets. Combined with the fast ebony fretboard, this contemporary neck feels sleek, slick and built for speed. Compared to more traditional or vintage-style Les Paul instruments, the Modern’s solid mahogany neck provides a completely different feel for players accustomed to gliding around the frets.

Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured Pickups

Versatile ProBucker Pickups

The ProBucker 2 neck and ProBucker 3 bridge pickups deliver that classic, P.A.F.-style bite and growl, with the addition of more tonal options thanks to unique wiring. Both volume controls offer coil splitting, so you can toggle between humbucking and single-coil modes to go from thick, aggressive rock tones to cleaner, airier sounds perfect for jazz and country. The phase switch adds even more variety—flip it on for glassy, funky phasing effects that became an accidental mod on one legendary Les Paul dubbed “Greeny.” The Epiphone Modern caters to a diverse range of tastes and styles.
