I’ve been eyeing these for a while, but the pandemic has really impacted inventory. Sweetwater hasn’t had it in stock for a while.

Anyway, I am up in Canada for a bit and visited their big box instrument store to check out aLP Custom they have in inventory. Didn’t care for the build quality on the Custom.

My wife and I were slow rolling out when I spotted the Modern on the wall. Love this thing! It’s beautiful, feels great to play, sounds great, and is a lightweight!

Very cool, love the color and the new features too. HNGD! I was actually checking out the Epi verstion of those the other day and like the contours for sure - but yes, stock is low across the board.

HNGD! I like those models. The "shave" in the neck joint actually makes upper fret acces easier?

Yes! I’ve heard the true Axess heels are better. But this is definitely better than a typical LP or Fender heel.

Aesthetically speaking, you simply cannot go wrong with blue and brown. It's like the chocolate and peanut butter of color combinations.

[mention]Mr. Leyvatone[/mention] Those Probuckers sound good? How do you like them (maybe compared to what ALs usually sport)?

Yeah, those knobs are whack, but otherwise, looks great!

Beauty! HNGD!
The blocky neck heel is one of the only reasons I have not grabbed an AL 3xxx; the AL3200 is on my list but too pricey for me.

I’ve never owned a guitar with Probuckers. This LP has BurstBucker Pros. They sound great!

I think the knobs look okay. Its a gorgeous guitar.
I wouldn't go with black knobs. If anything, I'd go with wood knobs that are close looking to the back wood. Or darker.

Maybe wood "plastics" all around.

Oh! I´ve just noticed it is the GBSON LP Modern, not the Epi. It´s the Epi that has PBs.

Thanks anyway!
