A lean, mean tone machine

The Gibson SG, famous for its comfortable, fast-action neck, is a perennial favorite among guitarists at Sweetwater. 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. The Gibson SG Modern is a lean, mean tone machine.

High-quality Grovers for ultimate tuning stability

Another thing that sets this SG Modern apart is its set of Grover Rotomatics locking tuning machines with keystone buttons. Grover has been keeping the world’s finest stringed instruments in tune for over a century. Grover employs only the finest materials and manufacturing methods and stands behind their products with their lifetime warranty. Sweetwater knows that keeping your guitar in tune is imperative, and we’re confident that Grover tuners can do the job.

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 sweet 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.
