Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson’s right-handed SG Modern pairs the SG double-cut solidbody format with a mahogany body, AA figured maple top, and 24-fret ebony fingerboard. The SlimTaper Asymmetric mahogany neck and compound-radius board are designed to support chord work near the neck joint and bends farther up the fingerboard. Burstbucker Pro pickups provide the HH voice, while push/pull volume controls access single-coil tones from each humbucker. A three-way switch, Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and hardshell case round out the guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players moving between humbucker sounds and coil-tapped single-coil tones during a set.
- Parts that combine chording with bends and higher-position lead playing.
- Transporting a right-handed, 24-fret SG Modern in its supplied hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this version is specified for right-handed orientation.
- Players seeking a 22-fret instrument, since this model has 24 frets.
