Gibson SG Modern, Trans Black Fade #220650182

Descripción completa

Versatile BurstBucker tone with coil tap control

The BurstBucker Pro and BurstBucker Pro Plus pickups are designed to deliver a powerful, articulate humbucker tone with plenty of clarity and punch. Using Alnico 5 magnets, they provide a tighter low end and more pronounced highs compared to vintage-style pickups, making them well suited to modern playing styles. The push/pull coil tap function on both volume controls adds another layer of versatility, allowing you to switch between full humbucker depth and a brighter, more cutting single-coil-style tone. This flexibility makes the SG Modern suitable for a wide range of genres and playing approaches.

Hybrid construction for enhanced tonal depth

The combination of a mahogany body and an AA figured maple top brings together elements of both SG and Les Paul designs. The mahogany provides warmth and strong midrange presence, while the maple top adds brightness, clarity, and extra definition. This pairing results in a balanced tonal profile with improved sustain and articulation, allowing the guitar to perform well in both clean and driven settings. It’s a design that expands the traditional SG sound while retaining its core character.

Fast neck with extended range

The asymmetrical SlimTaper neck profile is shaped for comfort and speed, offering a slightly different contour on each side to suit the natural shape of your hand. This makes it feel smooth and supportive across the entire neck, whether you’re playing chords or fast lead lines. The ebony fretboard provides a slick, responsive surface, while the 24 frets give you access to a wider range of notes. Combined with a compound radius, it allows for easy bending and precise fretting at any position.

Modern hardware and refined styling

The SG Modern is fitted with a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece, providing reliable sustain and accurate intonation. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners ensure stable tuning and smooth adjustment, even during demanding playing. Clear top hat knobs and chrome hardware give the guitar a contemporary look, while the Trans Black Fade finish highlights the figured maple top. Combined with its upgraded features and premium construction, it’s a modern take on a timeless design built for today’s players.
