From Gibson:
The 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 Mini Rotomatic tuners, and clear top hat knobs.

One of these in the blueberry Fade finish is literally a dream Gibson SG for me
As the proud owner of a blueberry fade SG, it truly is a great guitar! I’ve had mine almost two years, and I’m in love with it!
I want one and a Tony Iommi Cross inlay soooo bad
The pickups sound very bright (not a good thing) : i prefer the 490r 498t for the lead tones
Seriously considering a SG Modern. I have an SG Standard and the SG '61 Reissue. I've started moving from Les Paul to SG guitars. They are just so much lighter.
Would be cool if it had Stainless Steel frets. Really cool looking guitar, and an official Gibson SG with 24 frets is awesome.
Love your videos. Thanks for explaining stuff so thoroughly yet efficiently!
Thanks for the demo. I would never contemplate buying one. The '61 Reissue? Yes! Definitely!
I own this guitar. Ordered it in 2019 when it was introduced. The figure on mine is much, much nicer imo. Love this guitar, but don't play it as much as some of the others in my collection. I can respect the overall score. I personally do appreciate the modern features
Boy that bridge just sounds AMAZING, the tone overall with the ( band ) behind you was AWESOME. Great description to call it a hybrid/ LP / SG. Pardon the pun on that you can't put your finger on the ( width 12th fret plus ) . Great review.
The Finish is very much like The Epi Slash Firebird. A great look.
That is one damn beautiful SG. I think, if they are going to do an asymmetrical neck carve, they should slowly flip which end is thicker as they move down the neck. Fatter at the bass side up by the nut, and slowly working its way to thicker at the treble side as you go toward the bridge. It may give your thumb somewhere to sit comfortably.
12:40 i like that you mention that.
It is really hard to explain to other people when we dont like guitars which significantly wider (widening?) necks, same issue with Ibanez guitars, really thin neck on the back, really wide if you are on the 15th fret, making it uncomfortable to grab somehow, the thumb ends on a really weird position (mid neck, almost horizontal)
The only brand I have noticed has necks that dont go too wide on higher frets, are Yamahas😮
Thank you the coil tap/split description is the best I have listened to, this is a great video,
I just bought a translucent black epi modern love the look plus I got out of phase and locking tuners.
In Australia the pick ups are ProBucker 2 & 3
It is SO beautiful, it looks like a photo to me.
I purchased the 61 reissue and checked it out. The neck was really flimsy and seemed to bend back and forth way to easy not feeling sturdy at all. The guitar had a slight fret buzz on the E string I couldn't resolve. I sent it back and got the SG modern. The SG modern neck was much more stable and the pro burst bucker pickups sound awesome. The playability in my opinion is excellent but it did take about a week to get used to. The tones are incredible. Highly recommend this guitar. My opinion.
Beautiful ❤🎸🎶🔊💥
just picked up a blueberry .. .been an SG plyer 40 years
Thanks John
Maybe try another like the blueberry. Thenecks could be a little different in each guitar.
i have this guitar and i completely agree on the coil tap. Barely much difference in tone. But i love this guitar.
I own a Gibson SG Standard-T in ebony that I bought in 2017 ....lefty model. :)
As much as I love SG's I don't care for these but, I will say it sounds pretty good ! Nice job guys !
Didn’t care for the coil taps other than it sounded like an acoustic in the middle with both taps engaged. I wish you would have demo’d taping just the neck and just the bridge in middle position.
I hope to compare it with the Epiphone modern! Great review!
I think your reviews are the best. Fair very informative and neutral /honest . Thank you good stuff
ive always wanted one. my bday is coming up soon and i think im gonna splurge..
I just bought one of the blueberry fades over the weekend. I really like it - I would most likely never own an SG otherwise (not a fan of the classic look on them). I was already used to the neck though, having a 2018 Les Paul Std. HP with the same neck; that neck is an odd little duck and did take some getting used to at first. Lol, it's kinda the mullet of guitar necks, thick enough at the top to make cording comfortable if you throw your thumb over, and thin enough from the middle to the bottom of the neck for proper thumb placement when soloing 'shredder-style' (or wanna-be shredder in my case 😂). Take all of my positive appraisal with a huge heap of salt - outside of my stable of explorers, I'm more of an ESP and Jackson guy even though I don't really play metal anymore. The classic feel and vibe that Gibson offers in many of their models is lost on me.
Thank you for this great video 🔥 great guitar, but why no fret-nips?
Man this thing has 10 tones to roll through? DAMN nice guitar
There's been quite a few different SG's with maple tops over the years.
Their at my local shop for 1999.00 But i ended up going with a gibson regular sg standard and its awesome
I ordered one blind because the specs on that look like it's my ultimate SG guitar, but sadly, the so-called medium jumbo frets were closer to feeling like a fretless guitar and I sent it back after playing it for 5 minutes as no setup in the world can fix that issue without a refret.
How is tuning stability with this on your center strings? I’m truly curious how stable as Gibson history we all know I wondered. Had they somehow corrected that with the nut design or any position movement of the tuners thanks again sounds like a stupid question but I have a lot of Gibson guitars, and I love this one. I think it’ll be great for the stage And I can’t wait to rock it. Thanks man. 2:31 6:21
Finally. Someone who knows how to demo pickups Clean Full. Then tapped. Then. Distortion. Great job I love SGs
The pickups sound very bright (not a good thing) : i prefer the 490r 498t for the lead tones
does it have neck dive? Looks and sounds killer (sorry if i missed you addressing this in the video)
Good review
I fully understand you on the width beyond the 22th fret.
.
If you have the comparison of a '61 slim tapered neck from ,& down the 12th fret I love to hear from you.....
Please in metric centimeters,; a lot more acurate than inches etc...

That's one pretty guitar!
Any thoughts on 24 fret guitars with tune-o-matic bridge, versatile pickups and low action?
I like the fact that the heavy maple cap offsets the SG's pesky neck dive.
U just gotta play B4 u buy many sh's don't have the dive. I got my SG standard a month ago and there is absolutely no neck dive. I can even walk around standing up no dive.
@@grapejuice2589 I agree...always best to play it first if one has the opportunity. You were lucky to get one with no neck dive, matter of fact it was miraculous.
I got one three years ago. Best guitar to play sitting down. Most uncomfortable guitar I've ever played standing up, too much neck dive. I traded for a LP, and never looked back. Add a bigsby, and it should be perfect. What happened to the tuners? They were locking Grover's and 24 frets when it came out.
By the way, this is Mario, the old guy that buys all those guitars from zZounds and always pays over the phone.🙂
Can t decide between the jim root strat and this one...can somebossy help me?
killer sg!!!
If it was a standard round neck, Im totally down with one of these, but I despise slim taper soooo much.. I think radius is 10-14”..
I would literally throw some lambertones cremas, obsidian wire sg wiring harness and get a great set up and that's a working horse guitar for me 👍🏽
I want one!
If I could get it in maroon or red, I'd buy one...or two.🙂
I have no idea why people still try to compare this guitar to the Les Paul because it's two completely different guitars. Forget the history. It's a 100% different animal vs LP.
That is one beautiful SG it looks like a piece of glass on the top and bottom I would love to have to have one like that but it would take me a long time to same up my spare money for that, I not saying it's not worth that because you can clearly see it is but that's a little a bit of money for me to turn loose of right now. I wish you luck and best wishes my friend.
Hi, you gunna review that Sheraton II behind you on the right?
Yes, most definitely! Thanks for watching
I bought mine in late 2021, it came with authentically shattered clear knobs. I emailed Gibson with a photograph and explanation of the authentic problem and they in turn asked me what my problem was and if I could send them a picture. No, you didn't read incorrectly, I told them the problem and provided evidence and they authentically asked in return if I had a problem. I now authentically do not do business with Gibson and Guitar Center authentically purchased the guitar from me.
Probably a shipping mishap doubt gibson sent out like that
@@billhannum4117 they put it in the case incorrectly. If it isn't centered in the case prior to closing it, their is a lot of pressure that gets placed on the body.
Sounds like you are an authentic baby.
SG with a Maple Top? Let's see, what do I have that fits the bill.
2000 SG Supreme
2007 SG Supreme Bass
2008 SG Select (maple top, back, and neck)
2013 SG Deluxe
2013 SG Supra (maple top, maple back, mahogany neck)
2014 SG Custom
2016 SG Supreme
2018 SG HPII
Know your facts. I watch your channel because you review some interesting guitars from time to time. But please don't pretend that you're an expert. You have a lot to learn.
And there are others that I don't have.
SG Elegant
SG Carved Top
SG Diablo Premium Plus
SG Modern, the one in this video. I had the 2020 Epi version and it was legit 3/4" maple top.
neckdive? I can see you got a nubuck leather pant, to retain the dive?
I don't like either color, but I need those 24 frets. 😂
a Complete Stealthy Beauty
just as i love my SGs Devilry beauties
Can you tune a guitar by ear? Tell me this: why do Luther's make hollowbox guitars with a solid Spruce top instead of maple?
Yes
Top wood varies
Hi. Do you know who won the green R7 ? Thanks !
I do, I shipped the guitar to the winner in Ohio! The winner was randomly drawn on gleam when we hit 50k subscribers. Thanks for watching
@@PlayandTradeGuitars Is that Austin Trogly ? 😀
I'm not into figured tops on SG's but IMO the SG Supreme is way nicer than the Modern.
I got one delivered [mistake?] and when it arrived it was disappointing. Fretwork was rubbish. 10th fret wasn't seated properly and it was like trying to play a razor blade for most of its length. The binding was also rough along its length and stained in places. It did sound and play great but I sent it back for a refund. Pretty poor result for a rrp AUD$5499 guitar [Most were selling around $4500]
What is wrong with mahogany?
I don't like this one : the fretboard is very strange for the bends (not good)
but the sounds are great and the features too
The flame maple top has grain going in opposite directions. It's not book matched at all. Look terrible IMO.
Yeah it's pretty distracting
An sg is a les paul...no hybrid stuff
This one has the flawed strap peg placement. Proper placement is on the top horn. This guitar will next dive and lean forward at gigs pulling your guitar out of tune and you will have to fight it all night long. Get an SG with a top horn strap peg placement or dont buy one...TRUST ME!
Who won the Les Paul Deluxe 🤤🤤🤤🤤
& are they playing it?!?!
It went to a lucky winner in New York, thanks! Good luck on the next one
Ilike sgs bu5 did not like any sounds , gritty and fuzzy no tight power chord drive....
The thick maple cap flattens the tone of the sound, whereas the mahogany wood slab resonated a more robust, full bodies natural tone. This guy does not explain the truth about maple wood.
My Epiphone version of this SG was $400 used, almost same specs plus locking Grover tuners, rings like a bell!
That cap is AA? WTF?
IDK why ppl do not explain the fullness about the truth. Gibson guitars are supposed to sound Fat because humbuckers were made for that purpose. 😆 I own a Epiphone Explorer, and it's got two humbuckers, and they have a full bodies, far sound, but I can play, so that's what matters, not the guitar in your hands. If you suck, practice will make you better, but only if you keep on practicing on a regular basis. What is talent, if you do not get regular practice?!? My shitty attitude is only fueling my criticism but at least I have not sacrificed my common sense. I've spent my two cents, and now I'm headed to bed.
A 61 reissue with a full mahogany body the thickness of a modern/supreme…that’s the perfect guitar for me.
They don't make them
@@ChrisShortyAllen they should lol
Coil tapos are a waste !
A really crappy top for a 2500 guitar
