The Les Paul Modern Lite embodies the classic style of the Les Paul™ but with a new, thinner all-mahogany body that is both lighter and well-balanced. The body also features a rear ventral cutout for additional playing comfort. The mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard and a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile. The Les Paul Modern Lite is powered by open-coil 490R and 498T humbucker™ pickups, which deliver a wide range of tonal capabilities perfect for any style of music. Available in five eye-catching satin nitrocellulose lacquer finishes and for the first time on a Core Les Paul model, each Les Paul Modern Lite also includes a matching headstock, adding to its visual appeal. A soft case is also included.
