Product Rating Product Review The entire process of buying this guitar was smoother than any other retailers I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. As my first Gibson, I had high expectations for this guitar. It arrived promptly (within 2 days), after unboxing, the fit and finish of the guitar floored me, it was set up perfectly already. It got even better once plugged into my VOX amp. I highly recommend purchasing this product through American Musical, they make many items available that typically may be out of reach for some. I will definitely purchase through them again!

Product Review The epiphone version is much better all around I played the Gibson and Epiphone version before I bought the epiphone was a no brainer over the Gibson

Product Review I just got my SG modern today and holly smokes. This is a great guitar. I’ve owned lots of high end guitar and this feels like it was made for me. The quality control is great on this guitar. It’s not cheap but so worth it with AMS’s payment plan.

Product Review This guitar is amazing. I love the color, the sound and especially the input jack being on the bottom. I received the guitar two days ago and have been playing with it for many hours. Thank you AMS, I’m very grateful to own this guitar.

Product Review I am totally pleased with this guitar straight out of the box, beautiful finish, the neck is probably the most comfortable sg I have ever played. I highly recommend this guitar if you are looking for a high end Gibson!

Product Review With the quality & superb appointments found on this guitar, you'd expect to pay A LOT more. Initially, I waited on buying the then-new SG Modern until it had been out for a year, to ascertain whether it had issues of any kind (it didn't) and now I wish I had made a purchase on day one. I deprived myself for 365 days, of enjoying a beautiful guitar with incredible sound, and the Transparent Black finish is real eye-candy!

Product Review I've been playing for 35 years plus. I own a lot of guitars, but this is my first SG. While the weight distribution is different than any other guitar I've played, (Its heavier towards the headstock) it's comfortable and fairly light. I found the finishes to be great, from the paint, frets, and hardware. Make sure you're using a good quality cable to reduce hum. Best of all, it's a tone monster! regardless which amp i plug it in to, it hasn't disappointed me yet. I'd definitely recommend to players of all skill levels. Another win Gibson!

Shipped with a small hole on the neck.

Product Review After waiting 4 months on back order. The product shipped and As soon as I opened the case I instantly noticed a small hole on top of the neck where the 5th fret marker would be. It looks as though it was pushed in somehow. There was also a few small dings on the body. I feel as though I may have accidentally been sent an open box item because I don’t see any way possible that the guitar could pass inspection at the Gibson factory like that. This is my 3rd guitar from AMS and it is the first time I have had any problems. They were helpful to help me return for a replacement. Which should arrive shortly. I also was disappointed that the guitar I received did not have locking tuners like in the picture. The guitar did okay and sound great and is much lighter than my 60s standard les paul.

Product Review This SG is beautiful and the finish is perfect. The flame is gorgeous with this paint scheme. The setup was pretty good, and a little adjustment has this guitar playing like a dream. Everything about the guitar was perfect. American Musical let me down on this transaction, though.

Product Review I was hesitant to buy a guitar without playing it in person first but I am over the moon happy I did with this one! The neck carve fits my hands perfectly. And the ebony fret board is a thing of beauty. The only slight complaint I have is the neck dive. But I would take that any day for the ease of string changes with the locking tuners. Over all, I would whole heartedly recommend this guitar to anyone looking at it. Absolutely ecstatic with the purchase.

Product Review This is my very first Gibson guitar. I’ve always dreamed of owning one and I decided to bite the bullet and get one. Never been a fan of ordering a guitar i haven’t played first but thought why not. Let me tell you this guitar is beautiful and perfect in every way. Even the action is perfect. It sounds amazing and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. American musical is no joke and had my axe in two days. Thanks y’all...

Product Review One of the most beautiful sg that I own.i love the M.O.P inlays with ebony fretboard. I really like the push/pull pot, it's like having a pedal built in. Has great tone. I do not regret the purchase one bit.

Product Review I got a minor blemished blueberry fade Gibson SG Modern, the quality was very poor, the frets were long and sharp, sharp enough to cut your fingers if you were brave enough to try and play it, I wasn’t that brave. There was glue still on the ridge line and lots of miss match. I’m thinking they forgot to finish the one I received! I’ve wanted one of those guitars since I was a kid, I’m now 62. I actually couldn’t believe the poor craftsmanship! What a total disappointment. I did a side by side comparison to the Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 I have and I’d have to say that the difference in craftsmanship was very remarkable and very noticeable. The Epiphone is a thing of beauty compared to the Gibson SG that I received for $2k I didn’t even plug it in, packed it back up and called AMS. AMS customer service was awesome. They were quick to offer an exchange of the poor example of supposedly one of the finest guitar brands on the planet for me. I’m waiting for the replacement to arrive and if it’s not all that it should be for a high end guitar, I’ll give up on my dream of a Gibson and get the Epiphone SG Modern instead for a 1/4 of the price! I’m totally bummed out and almost can’t believe Gibson would let something like that leave their factory, I’ve heard they’ve had quality problems but that was beyond bad! Maybe I got the odd ball, we’ll see! I’ll do an update when I receive it and evaluate it

Very Active Flame and a Great Tone!

Product Review I got this as a compromise between a SG and a Les Paul and it doesn’t disappoint. It has the side jack and the Figured maple cap that I like about the LP but the light weight feel and fret Access of the SG. Couldn’t ask for more, Gibson is seriously stepping up there game. I can’t find anything I’m disappointed with on this, Mother of Pearl inlays, Ebony Neck, Hand-wiring, coil split abilities, Asymmetrical slim taper, etc. it’s a great deal for what it is! I would definitely recommend this for someone with similar needs.

Product Review Fit and finish absolutely pristine. Needed no setup out of the box. The case is outstanding. This guitar absolutely roars with rock n roll heat! 18 payments made it easy to afford my first slice of Gibson heaven! If you don’t have one of .these I’d strongly recommend getting one, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic articulate sounding hybrid SG

Product Review First off. This Doesn’t sound like a typical Sg. I have a 17, 18, and 19 standard SG to compare. The Maple top (which is a little lacking aesthetically for the price point) gives it a much more articulate sound. Pick out every note of a full barre chord. The ebony board feels great under my fingers. The neck feels very similar to my 16 les Paul standard T. Hand wired electronics are great addition! The p90 sounds via the push pulls are great! I have the blueberry fade. Reminds me of denim jeans on the front. With the strap peg on the back of the upper horn it hangs horizontal to floor when let go. No neck dive. Neck is bound but no nibs on the edges of each side of the frets like the standards. I like the input jack on the edge of guitar vs the face like the standards. Great addition to anyone’s collection! AMS made the buying process quick and painless. I have dealt with their customer service on previous purchases and they are fast, responsive, and hassle free.

Not your average Gibson SG

Product Review Gibson nailed it with the SG Modern, maple top, 24 frets, mother of pearl inlays, sweet feeling neck profile, Burstbucker pro in the neck, Burstbucker pro + in the bridge, beautiful looking guitar. Ive had several SGs over my 45 years of playing and I must say this is the best playing and sounding SG I’ve ever played. I bought the Blueberry fade and its sweet. Love it. Only thing some people may not like, its a little top heavy as most SGs are.

Product Review Great guitar!! Neck is thin, the maple top is ok, it's definitely not a AAA+ top, but still beautiful! Sounds great and is not too heavy. The strap hook in the top of body is a little awkward but you get used to it. I would buy this guitar again in a heartbeat!!

Product Review This is the 3rd Gibson I’ve bought from AMS since 2012. I have loved the previous guitars but this one is really super nice. It feels thicker and heavier than any SG I’ve had. Love the Blueberry Fade finish. The action and setup are perfect. Zero flaws in craftsmanship. And the sound.... WOW!!! I play professionally 3 to 4 nights a week. My last Gibson from AMS played 453 shows (4 hour shows). It could play a thousand more. Starting tomorrow this one will become my primary instrument and my old one will retire to my wall next to 4 other friends. Thanks AMS, as always you rock my world.
