Ever wanted the sleek playing feel of an SG with the glorious sound of a Les Paul? Meet the Gibson SG Modern, a classic guitar for the 21st Century. When creating this exceptional instrument, Gibson took the best aspects of their two most popular models and brought them together to make the ultimate Gibson electric guitar.
The SG Modern takes the classic SG formula and updates it with improved features and design choices. A mahogany body, with a figured maple top, gives you the warm, fat sound you would usually expect from a Les Paul - but with the comfort and playability, you get from the SG's unique body shape. Powerful Burstbucker Pro pickups produce a full-on sound while Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners and a Tune-o-Matic bridge provide excellent tuning stability. All of this results in a truly modern guitar, designed for the modern guitarist.

Iconic shape, historic tone. The Gibson SG has been a favourite of many rock legends, but some people have found that it lacks the depth and warmth of Gibson's other legendary guitar, the Les Paul. That's where the SG Modern comes in. This guitar takes the slim, aggressive shape that makes the SG so easy to play, and combines it with the tonewood construction that makes the Les Paul so well loved.
So, you get the excellent upper fret access and sleek design of the SG, with the resonance and sustain that comes from a mahogany body and AA figured maple top. Finished off with exquisite mother of pearl trapezoids inlays and a beautiful trans black fade finish, this impeccably constructed instrument is the definition of a modern guitar.
Bursting with tone. Equipped with Burstbucker Pro Rhythm and Burstbucker Pro + Lead pickups, the SG Modern can produce a wide range of beautifully detailed tones. Perfectly calibrated, this pair of hot Alnico V humbuckers produces a rich, full-on sound with massive amounts of volume - perfect for anything from classic rock to modern metal.
The Burstbucker Pro + Lead pickup situated in the bridge has a crisp, clear sound that will easily slice though the mix. And the neck Burstbucker Pro produces a warm, fat sound with plenty of sustain, allowing smooth lead lines and chunky rhythm playing to sing freely. Incredibly versatile, this guitar's powerful pickups work amazingly in any scenario.
All of Gibson's legendary tones at your fingertips. The SG Modern retains the classic layout of two volume and tone controls with a 3-way toggle switch, but adds coil-tapping options for each pickup. Using the independent volume and tone controls you can easily setup two distinctive sounds, then switch between them with the toggle switch. This is very useful for alternating between rhythm and lead playing.
Each volume control is also a push-pull switch that can be used to coil tap the respective pickup. This allows for even greater tonal options, letting you go between a humbucker and P90 style sound with the flick of a switch. With such a wide tonal pallet, this guitar is perfect for any style of music.
The neck dreams are made of. Meticulously crafted to deliver the best possible playing feel, this asymmetrical, slim taper neck fits comfortably in your hand - allowing for fast, smooth playing as you glide to any of the 24 frets. Made from mahogany with an ebony fretboard, you get a warm, resonant tone with plenty of sustain.
A compound radius fretboard gives a perfect feel from the first to the last fret. Making the fretboard rounder near the nut allows for more powerful chords. Then by flattening it closer to the heel, fast lead lines and crazy bends become effortless. Impeccable articulation and superior tone make this the ideal neck for modern playing.
Designed to keep up with the demands of the modern musician. Gibson have selected the best possible hardware to ensure the SG Modern has exceptional tuning stability, and the best possible tone. A Graph Tech nut helps keep string balance consistent for optimal playability, and a set of Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners allow for quick and easy string changes.
When when combined with the excellent Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, this gives you rock solid tuning stability and excellent sustain. So you don't need to worry about your guitar constantly going out of tune. These premium components make the SG Modern a reliable rock machine that will never let you down.
Have peace of mind that your pride and joy is safe and secure. The Gibson SG Modern comes with a hard shell case which is perfect for keeping your guitar secure during transit. Ideal for gigging musicians, this will help keep your guitar in pristine condition when you take it out on the road.
