Gibson USA SGSU00FIGH1 SG Supreme Electric Guitar - Fireburst

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Maple Top, Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Fireburst

Representing Gibson’s classic double-horned rock machine at its most refined, the SG Supreme blends world-class aesthetic elegance with stage-ready 6-string performance. This immaculate instrument begins with a tonewood foundation borrowed from the SG’s single-cut sibling: a lightweight mahogany body capped with a pickguard-free AAA-figured slab of mesmerizing maple. The top-end adornments continue on the SlimTaper mahogany neck, brandishing a compound-radius ebony fingerboard, 24 medium-jumbo frets, a striking set of Super Split-block mother-of-pearl inlays, and a vintage-inspired “Chandelier” mother-of-pearl headstock inlay. Dual Burstbucker humbuckers complement the SG Supreme’s high-class looks with a superb sonic cross between old-school PAF complexity and modern humbucking firepower, and you also get a set of push-pull pots for sparkling single-coil sounds. It’s finished with a golden aluminum Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and locking Grover tuners with Keystone buttons. Regal, refined, and ready to rock — the Gibson SG Supreme will surely become the crown jewel of your 6-string collection.

Fine-figured maple top and Supreme series features

From the Super Split-block fingerboard inlays to the headstock’s vintage-inspired “Chandelier” design, the SG Supreme is clearly a cut above your typical 6-string. However, one feature truly pushes this instrument over the aesthetic edge: A brilliantly figured AAA maple top. Not simply a visual upgrade, this superlative slab of maple has the added benefit of sharpening up your treble response, resulting in exceptional string-to-string clarity and a bolder top-end bite. SGs rarely venture outside their historic mahogany-bodied formula, making the SG Supreme a true rarity that shares more than a bit of tonal DNA with its single-cut Les Paul predecessor.

Burstbucker Pro: a modern spin on classic PAF sonics

Gibson’s Burstbucker pickups rest firmly in Sweetwater’s pickup pantheon as a top-tier PAF, but what if you’re after more power than a vintage-style humbucker can provide? Enter the Burstbucker Pro, a fatter, more powerful spin on time-tested PAF sonics. Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver all the classic characteristics of a top-notch PAF — exceptional clarity, a remarkably dynamic feel, and ample vintage-accurate warmth — but swaps out the lower-output Alnico II magnets for Alnico V. This results in a more aggressive attack and enhanced low-end response. Moreover, Burstbucker Pro pickups feature wax potting to cut down on hum and squeal. For the player seeking a vintage-style PAF that’s not afraid to venture into higher-gain territory, you’d be hard-pressed to beat Gibson’s Burstbucker Pro humbuckers.

SlimTaper neck and Plek’d frets

Comfort and playability were Gibson’s primary concerns when designing the SG Supreme. You’ll be delighted by how this guitar’s SlimTaper neck profile comfortably fits your hand just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the compound-radius ebony fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and bound with rolled edges so that no fret ends impede your dexterity. The frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’ll likely own.
