Gibson USA SGM01E8CH1 SG Modern Electric Guitar - Trans Black Fade

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Figured Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fretboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Trans Black Fade

The Gibson SG is a rock icon. But Gibson has upped the ante with the SG Modern. This guitar’s bevy of cutting-edge enhancements includes an eye-popping AA figured maple top, a Graph Tech nut, rock-solid Grover tuners, and push-pull coil tapping. Take hold of the speedy 24-fret SlimTaper neck topped with a bound ebony fretboard, and let ’er rip with a lick or two. Feel the power generated by two split-coil Burstbucker Pro humbuckers. The Gibson SG Modern is way more than an update of a classic solidbody electric — it’s everything a modern rocker could want in a guitar.

A lean, mean tone machine

The Gibson SG Modern, famous for its comfortable, fast-action neck, is a perennial favorite among guitarists. Whether you’re chording down low or soloing up high, the distinctive SlimTaper neck carve always feels just right. The guitar’s iconic double-horned cutaway gives you free access to the high registers, while its bound, Plek’d fretboard ensures effortless playability. We can't forget to mention the Trans Black Fade top that truly makes this Gibson SG Modern a lean, mean-tone machine.

Matched Burstbucker Pro pickup set and high-performance switching

Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver the vintage flavor of Gibson’s popular Burstbuckers, enhanced with the addition of Alnico V magnets. Fat and meaty, with gobs of drive and attack, the Burstbucker Pro serves up a good harmonic complexity and bell-like clarity courtesy of slightly unmatched bobbin windings. It’s the classic Gibson PAF tone — with extra attitude. Routed through electronics featuring two push-pull volume controls for access to coil-tapped single-coil tones, the Gibson SG Modern gives you the tonal mastery to ace any gig or recording session.
