Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured Electric Guitar - Cobalt Burst Reviews
Lightweight, versatile, and decked out with a plethora of performance-minded enhancements, Gibson’s Les Paul Modern Figured is a Les Paul for the 21st century. From the chambered mahogany body to the mahogany SlimTaper neck’s Modern Contoured Heel to the 12–16-inch ebony fingerboard, the Les Paul Modern Figured melds the Les Paul’s vintage roots with contemporary playability features. What about the tone? Beneath this guitar’s attention-demanding AAA figured maple top lies a pair of Burstbucker Pro humbuckers — pickups that supercharge the time-tested PAF formula with a high-output attitude and versatile split-coil, out-of-phase, and pure bypass switching options. You also get superbly stable Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners and a classic aluminum Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge. Take the future of the Les Paul into your own hands with Gibson’s Les Paul Modern Figured.

Great Guitar Outstanding Customer Service
I purchased this guitar. Gibson is really all you have to say. It is perfect. When I first started shopping Sweetwater was out as was all the other stores. I put myself on a waiting list and my Sales Engineer (Eric Rojas) sent back an e mail saying they were expected mid April. I kept checking arround and found one at a local chain store. I know they simply remove them form the box and hang them on the wall. I really liked the inspection process Sweetwater uses so I decided to wait. Well lo and behold Sweetwater finally got one in. I spoke to Eric on the phone and he told me he had several in. I wanted one with a nice figured top and lighter in weight. He told me to look on line as they were put up on the web site and I could buy one there and it would come directly to him. In the mean time he reserved one for me so that I did not loose an opprotunity to get one of the few that came in. On that Saturday purchased one on line. I was nice but not as nice of a top as I had hoped. On Sunday afternoon I got a call from Eric. He told me that he saw I purchaed one on line but that he saw the one he reserved and he thought I might like that one better. He sent pictures and it was exactly what I wanted. Eric switc hed out the guitars. This is the third guitar I purchased from Eric. You cannot put a price on OUTSTANDING customer service! This will not be the last purchase from Sweetwater!

Amazing Guitar All Around
The tonal options and design of the guitar is just beautiful.
Great playing guitar - my new favorite Gibson
I love this guitar. The weight relief makes it feel nicely balanced. The neck is fast and comfortable. The pickups have a nice growl to them. Most importantly: the sweetwater setup with ernie ball 9.5's was perfect. Nothing beats a guitar that plays perfect out of the box. Nick Graham is also great to work with! Very happy with my purchase.
Beautiful, Versatile LP
First of all, Sweetwater provided a great delivery service. Free shipping and it arrived 2 days after I ordered it, with excellent packing (box in a box, extra foam inserts for protection and support). The hardest part was waiting 24 hours to open it, but I didn't want to chance any damage to the finish, due to the winter temps. When I opened the case, if anything, it was even better looking in person than in Sweetwater's excellent photos! The flamed cobalt burst top, white binding and dark blue back and neck look flawlessly beautiful! I had been hesitant to order a guitar online, since I didn't know how it would feel, but the slim-taper neck and ebony fretboard were instantly comfortable and nicely playable. I plan to have the action adjusted, just slightly, since it's a hair higher than I prefer on the upper frets, but that's a very minor detail. Plugged in, it has a nice, balanced sound, with good sustain and clarity. Between the coil-splitting, phase switching, and pure bypass options, the available tones cover a wide spectrum and make the guitar suitable for any style of music. Overall, I'm very impressed with the looks, feel and sound of this guitar!
Perfect addition to my collection
I love everything about this one.
The service from Sweetwater is the best. This was not my first order and will not be the last if possible.
Highly recommend that Seeetwater be your "GO TO" for music equipment.
