2024年12月5日 · Caesar is really invested in the more "shreddy" Les Paul Modern models; but he's had the first 2 LP models introduced on his watch pretty much fail - the LP Modern Lite introduced last fall (kind of a carved-top LP Special with humbuckers and non-traditional colors) at $1,499 but wound up selling at GC for $799-$899 and the LP Modern Studio ...

2022年12月31日 · Hey there, Not looking for suggestions on vintage (pre 90's) but more the 90s-present. Curious what are the better years for Gibson Les Paul Standards. I've got a 2018 that's decent. But I have no real frame of reference in regards to what constitutes a good modern Les Paul and before I pick...

2023年10月31日 · An Epiphone LP modern is less than half the cost with an ebony board, locking tuners, locking bridge, contoured heel, treble bleed, and push pull pots. I think a grand would be a more reasonable price for these Modern Lite's. If I were in the market for a light Gibson for 1,500 I'd get a mint used SG 61.

2021年6月4日 · Still want to try a Modern and would love to check out a real Les Paul Custom for another reference point. it was fun really listening to these guitars, but the overall impression I get is the craft is alive and well, but at $1899-$2499, you get very little magic.

2024年5月1日 · What's the price level where they can't afford to employ their army of ahole lawyers anymore? Because funny enough: that's the exact price I'm willing to pay for a new Gibson. Personally, I'm not trying to fund a million cease-and-desist threat letters off my additional dimes they get solely from brand-premium largesse.

2023年11月1日 · When Gibson re-emerged from bankruptcy under JC/Cesar, USAs in Ebony were reserved for Gibson Direct Exclusives from the website (SG Special being an exception until recent offerings like the 80s Explorer). They expanded exclusive colors to include Olive Drab and Deep Purple to drive direct sales.

2019年7月29日 · Wildwood just got some more 2019 Les Paul Moderns in with the "ultra-modern weight relief." Their weights? 9.5 lbs, 9.0 lbs, 9.0 lbs, 8.8 lbs. A quick glance at Moderns at other stores tells a similar story. What a joke. Does this company have any quality control standards?

2023年10月31日 · It looks nice but at that price, you might as well save up for a used custom shop Les Paul custom axcess, better heel cut, good mix of historic specs/modern specs. I really wouldn’t spend more than 2K on Gibson USA when a used historic is not so far off. I prefer the custom shop consistency and quality over USA production. The lites looks pretty cool, …

2019年8月6日 · All Gibson Les Paul Standards are weight relieved in some form (9 "swiss cheese" holes, chambering, "modern" relief, etc.) going back to the early 1980s, including your '98.

2023年11月4日 · Hey everyone! Just made a deep dive video of the new Les Paul Modern Lite. Figured it could be helpful if anyone was in the market for one or just curious to see it more up close. Thanks! Les Paul Modern Lite
