Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cobalt Burst gives the Les Paul Modern Figured a figured AAA maple top over a lighter-weight mahogany body. The asymmetrical SlimTaper neck, compound-radius ebony fingerboard, and deeply contoured heel focus the design on movement across the neck, from lower chord positions to high-register solos. Burstbucker Pro humbuckers supply the core pickup voices, while four push-pull controls bring coil tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass into the same instrument. It is a right-handed, fixed-bridge Les Paul supplied with a hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players combining open-position chord work, technical riffs, and high-register solo passages in one set.
- Sessions that benefit from changing pickup wiring through the guitar’s four push-pull controls.
- Performing musicians who prefer the model’s lighter-weight mahogany body construction.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified right-handed.
