The Gibson SG Supreme electric guitar is back with refreshed features for modern players. Blending vintage style with contemporary appointments, the SG Supreme struts exceptional tone and smooth playability. Its beautiful AAA figured maple top sits atop a solid mahogany body for rich, resonant tone. The mahogany neck has an ebony fingerboard with a compound radius and 24 medium-jumbo frets for effortless soloing access. Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker Pro+ humbuckers with push/pull coil-tapping provide a myriad of tones, from warm and throaty to bright and cutting. The headstock boasts a striking new mother-of-pearl Chandelier inlay, inspired by a 1940s Gibson design. With versatile sound-shaping controls and elegant gold hardware, the SG Supreme is a stunning rock machine.
Resonant Tone With a Maple Top and Mahogany Body
The SG Supreme sings with deep, throaty tone thanks to its solid mahogany body topped with beautiful AAA-figured maple. Mahogany provides a rich, organic foundation with excellent resonance and sustain. The maple imparts crispness and bite to the overall voice. Combined, these tonewoods yield exceptional warmth and complexity. Whether you favor vintage rock crunch or modern high-gain fury, the SG Supreme delivers the goods.
Smooth Playability With Ebony Fingerboard and Compound Radius
Shredding solos, complex chords and speedy riffing are effortless on the SG Supreme's smooth ebony fingerboard. Its compound radius transitions from a gentle curve at the nut to a flatter radius towards the body for comfortable chording and bend-friendly soloing. Medium jumbo frets provide an ideal profile for precision and vibrato techniques. The 24-fret neck offers easy upper-register access too. Overall, the SG Supreme feels fast and fluid under your fingers.
Versatile Tonal Palette With Burstbucker Pickups and Coil Tapping
A pair of Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker Pro+ humbuckers serve up a wide range of tones perfect for rock, blues and metal. The Pro in the neck position has an earthy warmth and richness. The Pro+ bridge pickup provides extra bite and presence. Both pickups feature coil-tapping, activated by pulling up on the volume pots. This bypasses one coil of each humbucker for single-coil-esque brightness and snap. Between the pickups and coil taps, you can conjure up everything from sweet, singing leads to raunchy, snarling distorted riffs.
Vintage-Inspired Style With Modern Appeal
While the SG Supreme tips its hat to classic Gibson designs, it has an elegantly modern look. The headstock sports a breathtaking mother of pearl Chandelier inlay, inspired by an ornamental 1940s motif unearthed from Gibson's archives. Gold hardware, including vintage-style control knobs, complements each of the available finishes. Whether your style leans retro or contemporary, the SG Supreme makes a dramatic visual statement on stage.
