A New SG For Modern Times
The newly refreshed Gibson SG™ Modern bridges the gap between two legendary designs. It retains the sleek, double-cutaway silhouette that made the SG an icon while featuring a mahogany back capped with an AA maple top—a pairing often found on Les Paul™ models. This combination delivers all the resonant warmth and sustain players expect from a Gibson guitar. An asymmetrical SlimTaper™ mahogany neck provides a comfortable grip at every position, and the 24-fret ebony fingerboard has a compound radius that keeps chording smooth near the nut and facilitates effortless bends further up. Mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays lend an upscale touch, and Grover® Mini Rotomatics® tuners maintain precise tuning through everything from subtle riffs to full-on shredding. The Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece anchor the strings, ensuring accurate intonation and plenty of sustain. At the heart of the SG Modern’s versatile sound are Burstbucker™ Pro neck and Burstbucker Pro + lead pickups with Alnico 5 magnets. Both volume knobs include push/pull coil taps, offering a choice between Gibson humbucker™ fullness and a single-coil bite that recalls the classic P-90 voice. The result is an instrument that comfortably covers a wide range of styles—from laid-back blues and R&B to aggressive rock and metal. Clear Top Hat knobs complete the contemporary aesthetic, giving a sleek finishing touch to this modern reimagining of a timeless classic. By combining elements of both the SG and Les Paul families, the SG Modern delivers the agility and attitude of an SG with the added resonance and sonic depth usually associated with Les Pauls. This fresh take on a beloved design will have you exploring new sonic frontiers and adding your voice to the SG’s classic heritage
