Gibson Electric SG Modern Blueberry Fade

The Essentials to Know About the Gibson SG Modern Guitar

• Hybrid SG/Les Paul Construction: mahogany back and AA maple top for enhanced resonance and sustain.


• Modern Comfort: asymmetrical Slim Taper neck, 24 frets, and ebony fingerboard with compound radius for fast and precise playing.


• Sound Versatility: pair of Burstbucker Pro Alnico V humbuckers with push/pull coil-tap for tones close to a single-coil P90.


• Premium Finishes: Grover Rotomatic tuners, mother-of-pearl inlays, and glossy nitrocellulose finish.

An SG That Reconciles Heritage and Gibson Innovations

Born from the lineage of the SG introduced in the early 1960s, the SG Modern retains the sharp look of the icon while adding the tonal richness of a Les Paul thanks to its AA maple top. This "mahogany + maple" architecture and the carefully crafted luthiery under a nitrocellulose lacquer offer a guitar designed for today's player who wants the bite of an SG without sacrificing the harmonic density of a Les Paul.

For Whom and For What?

Designed for intermediate to advanced musicians, the SG Modern excels in rock, hard rock, blues, modern pop, and prog. The 24 frets and ultra-smooth access to the upper register favor lead playing and technical solos, while the versatile electronics make it credible for both studio and stage.

The Sound

The Burstbucker Pro (Alnico V) humbuckers deliver a muscular Gibson tone, rich in singing mids with well-defined lows. The coil-tap push/pull switches open up finer, clearer colors close to a single-coil P90 for arpeggios and intricate rhythms. The mahogany/maple combination enhances attack and projection, while the Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece stabilize intonation and sustain. The ebony fingerboard and compound radius provide precision on bends and consistent comfort across the neck.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Delivered in a hard case, this SG Modern is perfectly complemented by 10-46 nickel electric strings (factory set), a standard strap for traditional strap buttons, a quality 6.35 mm jack cable, and a stable stand for SG-type body shapes. These accessories are universally compatible with SG-format electric guitars.
