The Gibson SG is a cornerstone of rock and roll history, wielded by legends like Angus Young, Tony Iommi, and Derek Trucks. The SG Supreme takes this iconic design and elevates it with premium features and breathtaking aesthetics, making it a dream guitar for players and collectors alike.
The SG Supreme stuns with a AAA-figured maple top, available in a variety of finishes like Fireburst and Translucent Black. This luscious flame top sits on a mahogany body, a proven tonewood combination that delivers rich sustain and tonal complexity. The mahogany neck boasts a comfortable, yet fast-playing, compound radius ebony fretboard. Inlaid with elegant Super Split Block mother-of-pearl markers, the fretboard provides a smooth playing surface for effortless string bends and maneuvers.
A striking new “Chandelier Inlay” adorns the headstock, a mother-of-pearl design unearthed from Gibson’s archives and a testament to the brand’s heritage. This exquisite touch adds a touch of vintage flair to the instrument.
The SG Supreme offers two pickup configurations: a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers or a trio of '57 Classic+ humbuckers for those seeking a more powerful output. These pickups are renowned for their ability to capture the essence of classic Gibson humbucker sound, offering a perfect blend of warmth, growl, and clarity. Whether you’re dialing in pristine cleans, smooth bluesy leads, or searing rock riffs, the SG Supreme delivers the sonic goods.
The guitar features modern touches that enhance playability. The compound radius fretboard starts at 12" at the nut and transitions to a flatter 16" radius at the higher frets. This allows for comfortable chording in the lower positions and effortless string bending up the neck. 24 medium jumbo frets provide ample playing surface for those who prefer a modern feel.
High-quality hardware, including a TonePros locking TOM bridge and Grover Kidney tuners, ensures tuning stability and precise intonation. This bridge design also allows for string-thru or top-load operation, catering to player preference.
