Gibson SG Modern Figured Electric Guitar - Trans Black Fade

Our Take:

What happens when you combine elements of two of the world's most popular guitars? The Gibson SG Modern. Incorporating characteristics of both the SG and the Les Paul with many of their modern features, the Gibson SG Modern delivers a wholly new Gibson playing experience that is sure to kickstart your musical creativity. With an SG body design, but the AA maple top and mahogany back of a Les Paul, you get a tried and true sonic combo that's incredibly easy to wield. Plus, the two BurstBucker Pro Alnico V sound absolutely massive - especially when you utilize the push/pull controls to access the single-coil fury of the P-90 tone. With a super stylish gloss fade finish, and genuine mother of pearl inlays, the Gibson SG Modern presents what is sure to be an amazing six-string experience.

Gibson's Take:

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, slim taper 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 allows you to switch between the Gibson humbucker and the single coil P90 sounds, both of which have defined so many genres of music across multiple generations since we invented them. Upscale appointments include genuine mother of pearl inlays, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and clear top hat knobs.
