Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured in Purple and Mojave Burst
GuitarsEpiphone just launched two new bursts to their line of Les Paul Modern Figured guitars and I think these look absolutely stellar to be honest; the Mojave Burst and the Purple Burst.
The Modern Figured line features a traditional Les Paul (also available as SG’s, if that’s more your thing and they look equally stellar) with “Ultra-Modern” weight relief in the mahogany body for a more modern feel, on top of that mahogany you get a AAA figured maple top. Hardware-wise you get independent coil-splittable P.A.F-style Epiphone ProBucker humbucker pickups, treble bleed and a push-pull phase switch for a slew of tone variety. Top all that off with Grover locking tuners and a GraphTech NuBone nut and a price tag that wont’ make your eyes water and you’re all set.
The mahogany neck got a slim taper profile, ebony fingerboard with classic trapezoid inlays and the neck got a contoured heel for a more modern feel and easier access to the upper frets.
A premium gig bag is included, at least over at Thomann. Prices shown below are just what I found after a quick glance.
Thomann: Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured ($822)
Sweetwater: Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured ($799)
