Modern Design With Classic SG Attitude

The Gibson SG Modern takes the iconic double-cutaway SG shape and enhances it with contemporary upgrades for today’s guitarists. Retaining the fast, lightweight feel that made the SG a rock legend, this model introduces a mahogany body with an AA figured maple top, a construction more commonly found on Les Paul guitars. This pairing delivers a warm, resonant tone with added sustain and clarity, giving you the best of both worlds. The >gloss nitrocellulose Blueberry Fade finish not only looks stunning but also allows the wood to breathe, contributing to the guitar’s natural resonance. Designed for versatility, the SG Modern balances vintage charm with modern enhancements, making it a powerhouse for any genre.

Fast And Comfortable Playability

A guitar should feel as good as it sounds, and the SG Modern excels in playability. The asymmetrical SlimTaper mahogany neck is designed for effortless movement across the fretboard, ensuring a comfortable grip for both rhythm and lead playing. The ebony fingerboard features a compound radius, with a rounder profile near the nut for smooth chords and a flatter curve higher up for fast lead work and bends. With 24 medium jumbo frets, you have full access to the upper register, letting you push your playing further. Whether riffing hard or soaring through melodic solos, the SG Modern’s neck makes every note feel fluid and natural.

Powerful Tones With Versatile Electronics

At the heart of the SG Modern’s sound are the Burstbucker Pro Rhythm and Burstbucker Pro + Lead pickups, delivering the perfect mix of vintage warmth and modern precision. Built with Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups offer rich sustain, punchy midrange, and crisp articulation, making them ideal for everything from bluesy cleans to aggressive high-gain leads. The push/pull coil-tap volume controls let you switch between full humbucker power and a single-coil snap, expanding your tonal options with just a flick of a knob. With a 3-way toggle switch, you can seamlessly blend between warm neck tones, bright bridge attack, or a mix of both, giving you total control over your sound.

Rock-Solid Hardware For Ultimate Stability

A great guitar needs reliable hardware, and the SG Modern is built to perform. The Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece anchor your strings for precise intonation and sustain, ensuring that every note rings out with clarity. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability, so you can play hard without worrying about drift. The Graph Tech nut reduces friction for smooth tuning adjustments and helps maintain accuracy even with aggressive bends and vibrato. Topped off with Clear Top Hat control knobs, this SG isn’t just built for performance—it’s designed for effortless control and sleek aesthetics. On stage or in the studio, this guitar delivers the reliability and tone needed to bring your music to life.
