Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Smokehouse Satin, the Les Paul Modern Studio combines a maple-topped, weight-relieved mahogany body with a slimmer profile for easier handling. The bound ebony fingerboard sits on a compound-radius SlimTaper neck, and the contoured heel helps keep the upper register accessible. Its 490R and 498T humbuckers can be used in their regular configuration or expanded through push-pull controls: coil tapping at the volumes, plus phase reversal and pure bypass at the tones. A soft-shell case is included for transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio and stage work where the guitar’s slim, weight-relieved body profile is an advantage.
- Arrangements requiring standard humbucker voices alongside coil-tapped, phase-reversed, or bypassed settings.
- Players working from first-position chords through upper-fret passages on one neck.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified right-handed.
