Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured

Epiphone’s new Les Paul Modern Figured from the Inspired by Gibson Collection brings a new look and sound to the world’s greatest electric guitar. Featuring a weight relief mahogany body with a beautiful figured top, ProBucker pickups with coil-splitting, phase switching, and a treble bleed circuit. Plus, Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners with tulip buttons and an 18:1 ratio, GraphTech nut, PosiLok strap buttons, and an ebony fingerboard. A premium gig bag is included.

Epiphone SG Modern Figured

The SG Modern Figured from Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Collection has the classic SG body profile made from mahogany and a 3/4” maple cap with an AAA-figured maple veneer. Powered by a pair of ProBucker humbucker pickups with coil-splitting, phase switching, and a treble bleed circuit for a multitude of tones. It also features an ebony fingerboard, asymmetrical SlimTaper neck profile, world-class Grover Locking Rotomatic 18:1 ratio tuners, Posi-Lok strap buttons, and a Graph Tech NuBone nut. A premium gig bag is included.

From the timeless cool of the jazz age through the looking glass of 1960s psychedelia to the wall of sound of 1990s Britpop and today’s eclectic scene, Epiphone instruments have remained central to pop culture’s “big bang” moments. The Casino, the Texan, the Sheraton, the Riviera – model names that chime with guitarists everywhere, inspiring awe and desire in equal measure, whether you are a Beatle or a beginner. What most people don’t realise, however, is that Epiphone’s history stretches back even further than Gibson’s, beginning 150 years ago in a port on the Aegean Sea in what is now Turkey.
