Gibson - SG Modern Trans Black Fade

The Gibson SG Modern Trans Black Fade is the contemporary evolution of the iconic SG, enhanced with updates designed to maximize playability, comfort and tonal versatility.

While remaining true to the iconic look and feel of the classic model, this modernized version features bold aesthetics and technical innovations that will appeal to discerning players.

The iconic mahogany body is enhanced by an AA flamed maple top, offering both luxurious aesthetics and optimized resonance. The Trans Black Fade finish, applied with a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, highlights the wood’s natural patterns, creating a striking contrast between tradition and modernity.

The mahogany neck, featuring an Asymmetrical Slim Taper profile, is designed for a fast and comfortable grip, even during extended performances. Its genuine ebony fingerboard, combined with a compound radius and 24 medium jumbo frets, offers exceptional fluidity for solos and complex chords. The mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays add a touch of refinement to the design.

On the electronic side, this SG Modern is equipped with BurstBucker Pro Alnico 5 pickups, calibrated to deliver a wide range of sounds ranging from powerful and deep Humbucker tones to clear and incisive tones thanks to the push-pull potentiometers allowing to activate the coil-tap mode. The three-position selector and the transparent Top Hat control buttons guarantee intuitive and precise handling.

The Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and the aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece ensure impeccable tuning stability and perfect intonation. The Grover Mini Rotomatics tuners offer increased reliability, ideal for concerts and studio sessions.

Complete with a hardshell case and Gibson accessory kit, the Gibson SG Modern Trans Black Fade is a guitar that perfectly blends classic heritage and contemporary innovation, ideal for players looking to explore new sonic possibilities while building on a legendary foundation.
