The Modern SG That Punches Above Its Weight
If you love the look and bite of a classic SG but want more flexibility and modern reliability, this Epiphone SG Modern Figured delivers in a big way. It has that familiar mahogany growl, a killer figured maple top in Purple Burst, and a wiring harness that can cover just about any gig.
Mahogany Punch With A Figured Maple Top
The core is all SG: a mahogany body that gives you that mid-forward growl and fast, immediate response. On top of that you get a three-quarter inch maple cap with an AAA figured maple veneer, so you hear extra snap and clarity while your eyes get lost in that Purple Burst flame.
The full gloss finish feels smooth and slick but still lets the guitar resonate. On a strap this thing feels lively and responsive, with enough weight for sustain without dragging your shoulder down.
Asymmetrical SlimTaper Neck That Just Feels Right
The asymmetrical SlimTaper neck is one of those profiles you stop thinking about after a few minutes because it simply fits. It is a little fuller on the bass side for grip and a touch slimmer on the treble side for fast runs and big stretches.
Ebony under your fingers keeps things glassy and precise, and the 12 inch radius with 24 medium jumbo frets makes bends feel buttery without fretting out. Upper fret access is classic SG territory, so those last few frets are wide open for solos.
ProBucker Firepower With Serious Switching Tricks
Here is the lowdown: the ProBucker 2 in the neck and ProBucker 3 in the bridge give you full, articulate humbucker tones right out of the gate. They stay tight under gain and still let chords bloom and breathe.
Pull up the volume knobs for coil split single coil style tones, or yank the tone knobs for out of phase sounds that slice through a dense mix. The treble bleed circuit keeps your highs intact when you ride the volume knob, so you can clean up without getting muddy.
Locked In Hardware For Real World Playing
Grover locking Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech NuBone nut mean tuning stability is basically a non issue. String changes are quick, and big bends or heavy riffing will not knock it out of tune.
The LockTone Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar keep everything solid and resonant, while Posi Lok strap buttons give you extra security on stage. Nickel hardware and clear top hat knobs tie it all together with a modern meets classic vibe.
