Today, we check out the new Gibson Modern Lite that was launched in late 2023. These seems to get a lot of hate online and I'll argue that they do appeal to a very select audience, but at least they come in some fun colors that might inspire someone

I played this guitar at the store and I was impressed by how light, resonant and nice they feel. I went home with a Gibson SG Standard in a beautiful silver color from the new line. That afternoon while playing the SG, I started remembering how good the Les Paul Lite felt. Next day I went back and returned the SG and walked away with the Pink Modern Lite. No regrets.

@jonathanhudak2059 7 месяцев назад

Wow so you downgraded then! 😅 just kidding lol! How did the silver SG look in person?

@Tiago_007 7 месяцев назад

@@jonathanhudak2059 SG was great. The silver really sparkles in the light. The only thing is…I’m used to playing an SG 61 because of the thinner neck and the higher fret access. They didn’t have those at the store yet, which made my decision to get this one easier. I’ll still get the SG 61 once I pay this one off, and it will be the same silver color. In the meantime I’m really enjoying how light and comfortable the Les Paul Lite feels, and the pickups sound great as well.

@jonathanhudak2059 7 месяцев назад

@Tiago_007 hey thanks on that info I bet the silver SG looked rad! Would love to see one (and TV Yellow) in person. My 94 SG Standard(bat wing pickguard) has a fatter neck whereas my 2020 SG Special P-90 has the slim taper neck which I like better. Glad you're enjoying your new Les Paul!

@kkzooi 7 месяцев назад

i don't think i'll be trading in my 2021 LP tribute any time soon. First of all i'm not a fan of solid color guitars, my LP tribute weighs 6.94lbs so it's not a heavy weight either, trapezoid inlays instead of dots. I swapped the volume pots for CTS push/pull pots on the pcb (easy swap and the necessary holes for coil split are in the pcb) and gave it a set of burstbuckers (with quick connectors) i found online. sounds much better in my opinion and even with the replaced pots and burstbuckers price added up to the tribute's price it was all in all still cheaper than the Modern Lite.

The first 30 seconds of your tone demo on this guitar are the best I've seen you do yet: A short. simple riff played exactly the same on each pickup setting in quick succession so that you get a good reference without losing track of what you heard from sample to sample. Keep doing it like that, man.

@easternshore8367 7 месяцев назад

I recently saw one of these in a local guitar shop in my area that had a tv wheat finish and tried it out. I was definitely surprised at how lightweight it was as well as its smoothness with the satin finish. It definitely played better than most satin guitars I’ve played prior. The only thing keeping me from really wanting it isn’t really the price actually. I’m just personally not that good with single cut guitars as opposed to double cuts which is not limited to Gibson. As much as I like Les Pauls getting up to the higher frets is my Achilles heeI with those guitars unless I was every able to afford one of the Axcess models or even a regular modern. As a result I tend to lean towards SGs.

@frankwebster9110 7 месяцев назад

@jamespell8091 7 месяцев назад

Hardwired cool kind of helps explaining the cost plus the veneer on the headstock helps keep the in place (I don't think all Gibsons have a notch for the nuts) the Grovers are a plus and the neck being on the wide side as you observed string spacing is critical when they reach the area of the pickups, the strings really should drape over the pole pieces center. Plus the width creates a margin on the side of the neck where one might experience pull off. All in all not bad

@dirkfierce2525 7 месяцев назад

I bought the cardinal red one. The color and matching headstock are quite striking in person, but I do agree it is overpriced by about $250-300. That said, it's a joy to play because of its light weight, non-sticky neck, and great sound. I can see this one getting played more than some of my other heavier, more expensive Les Pauls just because it's so grab-n-go.

I Thought I might not like it at first. But I actually kind of like this model now that I have seen it. I love the color and I love the matching headstock. I like the fact that it's a stripper model with the dot inlays too. I think I could live without the binding too. My best friend's first good guitar was a used Les Paul studio I believe probably from the 1980s. I'm figuring that because he bought in the early 1990s. It was a pearl white color and dot inlays possibly even an ebony fretboard. It was a cool guitar and his workhorse for many many years. I could see myself buying one of these. If I was in the market for another guitar and wanted a different kind of Les Paul.

Curious whether these have a discernible ridge where the fretboard meets the neck. I've had a Les Paul Tribute and still have a Les Paul Tribute Special P-90. On both those guitars, where the fingerboard meets the maple neck has an obvious ridge on both sides. Even a $300 Pacifica doesn't suffer from that.

Do these have neck dive issues like an SG ?

For that price you could get a signature custom Epiphone LP like a greeny and it will have a hard shell case

@KevinTheMetalhead 7 месяцев назад

That’s the first time I’ve heard of the Epi Greeny being described as a better deal than another guitar. Though yeah I’d agree tbh, the Greeny is just better spec’s and even has a Gibson headstock.

I have a paul ii and its a great guitar, while also being a superb modding platform! Not sure I'd say that they're unwanted on the used market.. the challenge is that everyone thinks that they can get like $2 grand for them... I'm keen to see what the new lite is like when it hits the stores here in AU

@donicsm7684 7 месяцев назад

I was trying to buy a used standard lite. Good god please don't let this video raise the prices.

I dig the rose gold & tv wheat colors... I really want to get a LP but unfortunately the stars aren't lining up for That to happen

I had a Custom Light and really dug it but it didn't differentiate itself from my SG enough.

AMS used to create this guitar as a Les Paul Classic Lite. Now that had 57 Classic Pickups and a flame maple top available in black or burst for $2K. So this with stripped down paint and different pickups, I think seems fair. I think it being around the same price as a SG special seems right to me. SG Special does give fret binding. I am really on light guitar kick, so for me, this is a good Les Paul option. Epiphone muse is probably a good option, sure you could find Les Paul types for less. Michael Kelly has a light version for less with Seymour Duncans in it. I will say, Gibson pickups usually sound better than the lower priced options - unless they have Duncans or whatever.

I would not trust that headstock in that gig bag.

Do you think a gibson explorer will fit in that deluxe soft case?

@angrypantsman6034 7 месяцев назад

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe the PCB wiring harnesses are to big/thick to fit in a slimmed down LP? Might also explain the lack of coil splitting, those push/pull pots might not fit in there either

@Trog 7 месяцев назад

I had thought that too, but looking at it and knowing the SG Standard has a pcb... I just don't think it is the case

@angrypantsman6034 7 месяцев назад

@@Trog maybe it’s a long shaft vs short shaft thing?

@damned1313 2 месяца назад

I want one of these or a regular studio with P90 in it factory made. That would sell tons.

@jamesnorton7601 7 месяцев назад

I actually think Gibson knocked it out of the park on this one. Keep the colors coming, play around with pickups. Maybe a model that sells a lot of units.

@StevenAMckayAuthor 7 месяцев назад

These look fantastic for someone like a teenager wanting a nice, serious guitar they can keep forever. But they're just too expensive, same as the new higher-end Epiphones. I don't know why anyone would spend so much on those, or this, when they can find a used Les Paul Studio or perhaps a Classic for about the same price.

my les paul is over 11 lbs. it sounds amazing and feels so solid but I can't play it for more than 5 minutes without pain in my shoulder and back.

I have owned three Epiphone Les Paul's in the following order. Standard (solid 10lb), ES Pro (semi-hollow 7lb), Modern (chambered 8lb 2oz). The Modern is the optimum of comfort and sustain. Sold the Standard, kept the Modern, will probably sell the ES Pro (same PuPs as the Modern, but warmer tone and less sustain).
