Description

The newly-refreshed Gibson SG Modern incorporates many contemporary updates that players have embraced, and it’s much more than a classic “solid guitar” — it’s a hybrid between an SG and a Les Paul!

Shaped and scarfed like a classic SG, the body is crafted with a AA Maple top and Mahogany back — characteristic of a Les Paul. This combination is renowned for its resonance and sustain. The genuine Ebony, 24-fret compound radius fingerboard and asymmetrical, ‘SlimTaper’ neck allow fast and silky access to the highest frets.

A pair of calibrated BurstBucker Pro Alnico V humbuckers deliver fire-power and the push-pull controls allow you to switch between Gibson humbucker sounds and punchy single-coil P90 tones, both of which have defined so many genres of music across multiple generations. Upscale appointments include genuine mother of pearl inlays, Grover Rotomatic tuners and clear top hat knobs.

About the manufacturer

Gibson

Gibson has long stood as a symbol of American craftsmanship and musical heritage, shaping the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for over a century. Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, Gibson became legendary with instruments like the Les Paul, SG, and ES series, each known for their rich sustain, premium tonewoods, and iconic designs. The brand’s pioneering use of humbucker pickups and carved maple tops created the warm, powerful sound that defines countless classic recordings. Played by greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young, Gibson guitars continue to represent timeless quality, innovation, and a deep connection between player and instrument.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

SG

The Gibson SG (Solid Guitar) is a rock icon with attitude. Introduced in the early 1960s, it took the Les Paul’s power and gave it a sharper, lighter, double-cut design for faster access to higher frets. Its twin humbuckers deliver raw, biting tone and endless sustain — perfect for everything from blues to heavy rock. Played by legends like Angus Young and Tony Iommi, the SG proves that simplicity, style, and sheer power never go out of fashion.
