Gibson has unveiled their SG Supreme collection, infusing the iconic double-cut electric guitar with high-end features. This range showcases AAA-figured maple tops, elegant gold hardware, and stunning mother-of-pearl accents, making each guitar a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Gibson SG Supreme
Highlighting the collection is a special triple-humbucker exclusive (via the Gibson site only) model, presented in a sleek ebony finish with gold-covered pickups, epitomizing luxury in musical instruments. This launch follows the successful reintroduction of the Les Paul Supreme last year, signaling Gibson’s commitment to bringing supreme quality to their classic models.
The SG Supreme breaks the mold of the traditional rock ‘n’ roll SG guitar, offering a sophisticated twist with finishes like Wine Red, Fireburst, and Ebony Burst that accentuate the maple top’s natural beauty. The ebony version nods to the Les Paul Custom’s style, adding a touch of classic elegance.
Burstbucker Pro
Each guitar features a distinctive “Chandelier” inlay on the headstock, a design resurrected from a 1940s blueprint, alongside intricate mother-of-pearl inlays on the ebony fingerboards. The SG Supreme isn’t just about looks; it’s equipped with advanced features like a compound-radius fingerboard, 24 medium jumbo frets, and Burstbucker Pro pickups with coil-splitting capabilities for versatile sound.
The attention to detail extends to the control knobs, adorned with subtle gold accents, and the inclusion of locking Grover Rotomatic tuners for stable tuning. The traditional SlimTaper mahogany neck and aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge ensure familiar playability and sustain.
Presented without a pickguard to highlight the exquisite maple top, each SG Supreme ships in a durable hard-shell case, ready for the stage or studio. Priced at $3,499, these guitars are available now for those seeking a blend of Gibson’s legendary tone and modern luxury. For more information, visit Gibson’s website.
