Overview

A classic design updated with features for modern players.

The Gibson SG Modern electric guitar blends contemporary refinements with the iconic double-cutaway body style that has been rocking stages for decades. Built with a chambered mahogany body and figured maple top, this versatile solidbody guitar offers the lively resonance and singing sustain that players crave. Its slim taper asymmetric mahogany neck provides smooth, fast playability, while the push/pull coil taps on the BurstBucker Pro pickups let you go from full humbucking tones to bright, cutting single-coil sounds with just a flip of the volume knobs. Grover Mini kidney tuners keep the SG Modern precisely in tune through extended jams and gigs. With its comfortable feel and flexible electronic configuration, this exceptional electric guitar inspires your creativity and unlocks the full breadth of your musical expression.

With a Slim Taper Asymmetric Mahogany Neck for Fast, Comfortable Playability

The Gibson SG Modern features a slim taper mahogany neck with an asymmetric profile that feels fantastic in your hands. Its smooth contours and slim but not overly thin depth provide outstanding comfort and playability. The mahogany construction yields a balanced tone, with articulate note definition. The 24-fret bound ebony fingerboard has a compound radius that starts at a tighter curve by the nut then gradually flattens out moving up the neck, providing excellent precision on chords and single-note runs alike. This ergonomic design allows effortlessly fluid playing across the entire fingerboard.

With Push/Pull Coil Tap BurstBucker Pickups for Versatile Tonal Options

To match its versatile design, the SG Modern is equipped with a pair of push/pull coil tap BurstBucker Pro humbucking pickups. Just pull up on the volume knobs to engage the coil splits, taking each pickup from fat, thick humbucking mode to clear, ringing single-coil tones. The BurstBucker Pro in the neck position provides vintage PAF-style warmth and richness perfect for blues and classic rock. The hotter output BurstBucker Pro + bridge pickup delivers heightened crunch and sustain, ideal for searing leads. Blend the two pickups and tap between coil configurations using the 3-way toggle switch to access an inspiring variety of tones.

With a Chambered Mahogany Body and Maple Top for Lively Acoustic Resonance

The SG Modern has a chambered mahogany body topped with an elegantly figured maple cap. Chambering lightens the weight while enhancing resonance and sustain. The mahogany provides a balanced tone with smooth mids, while the maple contributes crisp highs and tight lows. Together they create the vibrant acoustic properties that allow the SG Modern to sing with exceptional tonal depth. The gloss finish not only looks fantastic, it helps produce vibrant sustain and effectively protects the gorgeous wood grain.

With Grover Mini Kidney Tuners for Precise and Stable Tuning

To help keep your SG Modern in tune through intense performances, it's equipped with a set of Grover Mini kidney tuners. Their compact size reduces headstock weight for improved resonance and sustain. The 18:1 gear ratio provides outstanding tuning precision, while the locking design keeps each string locked tightly in place. Combined with the Graph Tech nut, these high-performance machine heads ensure rock-solid tuning stability you can rely on.

With a Nashville Tune-O-Matic Bridge for Accurate Intonation

To optimize tone and intonation, the SG Modern has a Nashville tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece. This hardware combo has been proven over decades of use to be extremely stable while allowing easy adjustability of string height and intonation. Together with the Graph Tech nut, each string is properly supported along its entire length to prevent tuning issues and produce clear, in-tune notes across the fingerboard. The tune-o-matic bridge also contributes to the SG Modern's vibrant resonance and sustain.
