I liked the Seafood Green. However, the Cobolt Blue is my favorite!

I am asymmetrical or 59 chunk! But, something for everyone!!

[@danielbreaux1842]

So awesome!! We need all the pieces!!

[@arj1765]

Some channels say it has an assymetrical slim taper neck? Have they been ditched for sure?

[@spidgeb3292]

The one I have is what they call a "compound radius" on a slim neck. Is that the same as asymmetrical?

[@Zundfolge]

Love that Seafoam. Would prefer the Cobolt if they did it with the natural back though.

[@rockinrob2004]

100% agree with you!

[@justinb2924]

Agreed. Natural backs are my favorite. Take a brown though.

[@actionjaxon5150]

...or at least a couple of shades lighter on those backs that are almost black at first glance.

[@Exercise-01]

They should have done all of them with natural back.

[@phattdaddy]

That’s what I was thinking a lighter back would have been very cool 😎 but that top is really nice 😊

[@Darth.Shredder]

They need to put stainless steel frets on these "moderns", at least the ones without the nibs.

[@gdawgs101]

Wait these don't already have stainless steel frets??? Gibson moment... There are $250 Harley Benton guitars that come with SS frets 😂

[@Darth.Shredder]

@@gdawgs101 Yeah, I get the whole tradition Gibson and many Gibson players embrace, but a "modern" version of this guitar should have stainless frets. If they're going to call it "modern" them make it modern. Leave everything else nickel. As you've said, it's not a huge expense if Harley Benton and even some Amazon guitars have them. Unfortunately, Gibson counts every penny down to the screw. I've worked with one of their former product managers at another company and they think of everything on a mass quantity basis... If they can save a dime on something they don't look at it as a dime, it's a dime on 300 guitars a day, 1500 guitars a week and so on.

[@mr.h5788]

These guitars are 1500-2000! Not worth that at all IMO. Go play them. Gibson is so inconsistent. Standards also have so many flaws and tuning issues. These guitars should all have SS frets and be plek'd from the factory. No excuses... Build them right and charge a few hundred more! Otherwise, they're just ruining their reputation.

[@raytorvalds3699]

The blue one is my favorite by far. Because of the color, but I also like the top the best. Nice and wide flame. I don't like the pin stripy ones.

[@jamesosterberg2510]

Flamed Sea Foam Green Top + Natural back + MoP inlays + Ebony board = Perfection !!! I want one now ....!!!! Thank you Trogly for your amazing channel, and your awesome content !! I learned so much on the Gibson history, since 2019 I watch every video !! It's my fav KZbin Guitar Channel here !!!

[@JB19504]

Just receive my 2023 Seafoam Green Modern. It's beautiful. I have a 2019 Standard that is supposed to be Seafoam Green but it is terribly washed out. So much I call it Buckwheat Blonde. I think there was a paint or a manufacturing defect in the paint. Gibson, when I inquired said it was provably was left out in the sun which is ridiculous. Anyway, I am glad I finally got my Seafoam Green which the color I have always liked.

[@Cepyroh]

You can actually get that same color on a classic with the zebras right now! It doesn’t have the figured top, but I honestly think it’s better that way.

[@edwinstovall3334]

The Red Burst would be my favorite, followed closely by the blue. Green has grown on me of late, but it's the deep, gem-like emerald greens that get me. The sea foam is too light. So far.

I picked up the cherry burst a couple weeks ago. Absolutely love it. There does seem to be a large range in the burst finishes. My burst has a much darker edge to it. I’m not a fan of the clear knobs so swapping those out to black speed knobs was pretty easy.

[@mgm5781]

In the demo, these pickups sound great. What's been your experience with yours? Thx

[@Anthony-qh1xv]

Yeah, I think they’re pretty kick ass! I have a 50s Standard, best sounding electric, I’ve ever heard. I understand that the quality can vary though, because they’re made by hand. I’ve had a good experience with mine.

@@danikarose8695 I bought this color in the 60's version and it's awesome. I put locking tuners on it.

[@teebalicious]

I have a pair of the regular Moderns, on which I’ve blacked out the hardware and swapped pickups, and they’re fantastic. Light, easy to play, and they look killer onstage. I hope they continue to experiment with new cosmetic iterations on these.

[@clarkbabin9799]

I'm liking the red one the most. It would've been my favorite if they had put a natural finish on back like they did with the seafoam. Would been nice on the blue one too. Blue behind it. The seafoam I think would have looked better with a top like the blue one has. I agree on the label they should put modern instead of model. Them pickups sound good in any position with and without the coil split. I lost track of how many different sound options these have.

[@Meltdown07]

Just picked up a seafoam on a black Friday deal and it's amazing. Good flame on mine, neck is super comfortable and it plays very well. However, mine appears to beat 1 piece body and the body color is a darker brown than the natural shown in Trogly's video. Very happy that's the case because I think it looks even better! Super pleased with this purchase and got a great deal on it.

[@b_nast19]

I love that sea foam green top. The tight vertical grain with the amazing horizontal flame is a great look. The color is right too.

[@spidgeb3292]

Love the seafoam green! I need one of those. I just received the cobalt burst, and it looks a lot like the one you showed here. Looks great, sounds great! I'm sold on the Burstbucker Pro pickups, despite having been a Classic '57 purist for years. The "single-coil/P90 tone" is not that useful, IMO. The key value here, to me, is setting the bridge and neck PUs to taste, allowing essentially a two-channel experience while playing live. I don't have much use for a Gibson version of single-coil pickups. And "direct-to-bridge" is not at all useful to me. But the neck PU set on "woman tone" is just spectacular with a Keeley Blues Disorder pedal through a Marshall JTM 45. It's the tone I've been chasing forever, and have now found with a slim-taper neck. Yes, it was $3 grand. But that's the only way I was able to achieve it. So there ya go. I got there. Finally. Took me 50+ years. Worth every penny. Don't wait as long as I did. Go straight to the end game. Pay your money. Get your tone. Stop effing around.

[@jfinester]

These look nice! I actually like all three colors. I think I prefer the Sea Foam Green-it works really well with the natural back-but I’d take any one of them. The Cobalt Blue is nice too, but I already have an SG Supreme in a similar color, and the dark blue back and neck on that Modern is awfully dark. Ever play an outdoor gig in the sun with a guitar with a black neck? I have, and after maybe a minute I couldn’t touch the neck! Yowtch!!🔥I really like the Cherryburst one too-the cherry-red back is killer on that. I think they’ll sell a lot more of this model than they did the old ones, but maybe the old ones will start showing up at discounted prices! The only one of those I liked was the Sparkling Burgundy, but I like these transparent finishes better than any of the old ones.

[@CJZM7777]

Nice guitars. I would like to see a modern guitar with these 1 features: 1. A belly cut for comfort, 2. a smidge less depth to get the weight down to around 8 lbs, and 3. a true old school tobacco burst with a dark (near black) going to a reddish/yellowish burst (like a 1930s tobacco burst). I probably still couldn't see dropping all that money for a guitar but it would be perfect.

[@billydworrell8259]

I recently purchased the EPIPHONE LP Modern in Sparkling Burgandy, Which is stunning especially with the dark ebony fretboard. But one of the biggest selling features for me was the natural Mahogany wood grain on the back. For me to just have a solid color paint job on the back leaves alot 2b desired.

[@228560smur]

i have a 2014 Standard with what they were calling a plus top. Except for the heel carve all the same specs as these including no nibs, push pull pots, highly flamed top ect. Came with a Standard marked truss rod cover. A;lso has a weird S/N which begins with 14 instead of splitting the year. It has the different neck carve but I really don't notice it. Really beautiful guitar and plays great.

[@blackout8845]

The 3piece Body is a dealbreaker. Not in that price category, I don't care how great the tops are. For a "premium" Instrument you should be getting premium features such as a one piece body and probably a chipping free ebony fretboard (especially because LTD 1000 series gutars give you a perfect ebony fretboard for a 1/3 of the price)

[@VN9001]

Totally agree on the ebony fretboard here. Gibson seems to be using very cheap/low grade ebony on these. No fret nibs, no poker chip, no pickguard included in the case, no stainless steel frets, and a 3 piece body. This is a budget guitar with a premium price. I don't care how nice the top is. IME, go PRS if you want this kind of stuff. Way better quality.

[@deltawhiskey1398]

I'll take a Schecter Solo 2 Supreme in cat eye burst for $1500. Much better quality.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

I’m not a green guitar fan but this one grabbed me for some reason, probably that incredible flame top. Holy moly.

[@ChewieBabyTW]

Love the light sides and back on the lighter blue one. With the top, you’ve got a nice Sea and Sand LP. Very Florida.

[@steven_uk]

Three piece backs and bad finishing on the neck and binding all for the price of $3,000. Where do I sign up?

[@thadlogan51]

Nice review. I actually thought the last series of Les Paul modern guitars had way cooler and modern looking tops. These new tops don't look modern at all. But I thought that Gibson fans wouldn't bond with the previous colors because they typically prefer more old school classic looking flame top guitars...that aren't weight relieved, and don't have push pull pots. I'm not surprised that the previous ones didn't sell that well. I considered buying the previous modern several times because I like plain tops but decided to buy the Les Paul Classic instead because there wasn't anything added to the modern versus classic that I felt warranted the added price that I would need. Both have the exact push pull pots. Pickups come down to preference... both good on both models. I don't really need neck cutaway, and the non-locking tuners are fine in the classic. I have several guitars with and without locking tuners and I don't notice a difference really. I actually don't really think you are getting anything more for the standard Les Paul either unless you want a flame top... it's just good Gibson marketing. It's been proven that weight relief vs no weight relief has zero effect on tone... and the hand wiring vs PCB doesn't affect tone either...i have guitars with both and it makes zero difference...

[@zanzabar4ky7]

Do the new figured moderns have an asymmetric neck carve? That is not listed in the specs anymore.

[@Wayneextremity]

Exactly. I think Trogly didn't mention this clearly - everything Gibson has said (including Jim Decola in the breakdown video) says Slimtaper, not asymmetrical.

[@Trog]

I might’ve fudged that based on previous specs- will relook and edit. Thanks!

[@jameshughes6049]

At MSG in NYC seeing KISS the final show!!

[@HeathenRenegade]

I love that seafoam color. Reminds me of the 2015-ish Classic in a similar color, but without the weird stuff like the robot tuners. That was one of the first higher end guitars I saw and was really wowed by (though I don’t think it played particularly great). So, I might actually keep my eye on these for if I can ever afford one. (I would miss the Les Paul 100 branding though. Always thought that was super cool)

[@jezzer1969]

Mr Trogly I have a serious question. Why aren’t Gibson offering Jumbo fretwire ? Or even a choice of fretwire? If I go to any other guitar company, they offer jumbo frets. Fender, PRS, Ibanez, ESP, Yamaha…yet Gibson make a guitar with modern appointments and medium jumbo frets that are even smaller thanks to being ground down in the PLEK process? It seems to be a ridiculous state of affairs.

[@charliebragg3186]

You were right about "buy these early 3:52 when the tops are premium" figured instead of "half ass figured" I bought the first seafoam green that guitar center Hollywood got in stock, and it's beautiful. I saw another one at WLA guitar center last weekend and it was night and day, very little flame or figures to the top.

[@phillvisnaw1037]

Yeah I dig all 3 colors but gotta change the plastics to cream with the poker chip and pick guard for a better "pop" contrasting the tops!

If you use coil split mode, it might be a good idea to shield the switch cavity and control cavity. The room you did this demo in seems to be pretty free of radio frequency noise and hum, but you can't count on that everywhere.

[@georgemcgnarly3144]

I have a blck sparkle modern but Gibson removed all the fancy electronics and hired Ray Charles to solder in regular pots, removed the locking tuners and never drilled holes for pick guard, Dirtyfinger bridge bb2 neck. There is another modern just like it but was for sale in netherlands.

[@john564holloway]

I'll take the cobalt blue. I feel Gibson kinda goofed on that sea foam green which is what I usually prefer. I have the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson LP Modern Carribean Blue Fade. Probuckers 2 n 3 pups just don't have the Direct to Bridge pot. Still have the single coil split with OOP. I paid $699. Gibson has done better craftsmanship. My 2018 Classic gold top is superb. Don't get it how such flaws escape QC....Great demo, as always, Austin.

Please clarify, are the current Moderns being produced with a 60 slim neck that is NOT asymmetrical? The Cobalt Modern I tried in December was asymmetrical.

I’m sure Gibson doesn’t make it, but I’d really love to try out an R9 with the axcess heel carve. To me that would be a perfect live guitar, as I sometimes have to fight when playing my Les Paul standard at live shows. My band has one song in particular where I’m parked between the 14th through 19th frets for extended periods of time. I almost always will play my SG or my Strat on that song, even though I prefer the sound of the Les Paul for it. I did record the song with a Les Paul, but I played it while sitting down at the studio.

Fender single coils have the pole pieces as magnets with no bar magnets under the coil. P90s have two bar magnets below the coil and pole pieces that are adjustable In that sense the split humbcukers is in fact more like a thin P90 then a fender single coil.

A naked attempt by Gibson to match the gorgeous Flamed Maple Tops used on PRS guitars and other brands that are doing great things with woods.
