Contemporary Construction

Made of lightweight Mahogany with a beautiful AAA Figured Maple veneer top, the SG Modern holds the same rich, warm, and dynamic tones as the standard while allowing you to play for long periods of time with ease.

The asymmetrical slim tapered neck profile provides you with fast and comfortable access to move around the neck for some technical fretwork, whilst the modern set-in neck joint allows you to reach the higher ends of the fretboard without restriction.

Electrifying Tones

Loaded with a ProBucker 2 in the neck and a ProBucker 3 in the bridge, you’ll experience electrifying tones ranging from classic humbucker crunch to versatile P90 crispness thanks to the coil-split circuit housed in the tone controls. These high-output humbuckers deliver a clear mid-range, with plenty of gain and growl for a punchy, loud, and clear tone.

Thanks to the push-pull control knobs, the SG Modern Figured top produces clean and articulate single-coil P90 tones that give you a versatile axe and the flick of a switch. The controls also include a pure bypass and phase switching for you to create unique and sonically impressive soundscapes.

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.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

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.
