Gibson SG Modern Plain Top, Ebony #218950200 Overview
The Gibson SG Modern Plain Top in Ebony is a sleek reworking of a rock icon, built for players who want that timeless SG shape with a modern twist. Crafted from a mahogany body with a maple top, it delivers a rich, balanced tone with plenty of bite when you want it. The 24-fret ebony fingerboard with a compound radius is designed for speed and precision, while the slim taper, asymmetrical neck profile keeps things comfortable no matter how far you roam across the fretboard. Gold hardware, mother of pearl inlays and a high-gloss finish add a touch of class to an already legendary design.
Loaded with a pair of Burstbucker Pro pickups, this SG offers everything from warm, vintage-inspired tones to cutting modern rock sounds. Each pickup has coil-tap functionality, giving you even more tonal flexibility for the stage or studio. A Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stop bar tailpiece keep your tuning rock solid, while Grover tuners add reliability gig after gig. With its bold look, versatile electronics, and premium build quality, the SG Modern Plain Top is ready to handle whatever style you throw at it.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionHybrid feel and sustain
The SG Modern Plain Top blends that familiar double-cut balance with the punch and sustain players love. A solid mahogany body topped with maple adds snap to the midrange without losing warmth, so riffs bark and chords sing. It’s an SG with Les Paul edge, making it a killer all-rounder for rock, blues and beyond. Ebony finish and clean lines keep it sharp on stage and in the studio
Fast modern neck
The asymmetrical slim taper neck feels quick in the hand, making life easy during long sets, and boasts a 24-fret ebony fingerboard. A compound 10–16" radius keeps chords comfy down low and bends clean up high, while medium-jumbo frets give you confident control. White binding and mother of pearl trapezoids guide the way, and upper-fret access is effortless thanks to the classic SG carve and horn placement
Versatile electronics with coil-tap
Burstbucker Pro Rhythm and Lead + pickups serve up everything from vintage crunch to modern cut, staying articulate when you roll back the volumes. Pull up either volume for coil-tap sparkle, great for tighter rhythms or cutting cleans without losing presence. Two tones and a 3-way switch keep it familiar, but the palette is wide: glassy jangle, singing mids, and fat, harmonically rich lead sounds are all on tap with quick, musical adjustments
Premium hardware and build
A Nashville Tune-O-Matic and aluminium stop bar deliver rock-solid intonation and sustain, backed up by Grover Mini Kidney machines for smooth, accurate tuning. Gold hardware, black top-hat knobs with gold reflectors and a black guard give it a bold, purposeful look. Finished in high-gloss and shipped in a hardshell case, it’s gig-ready out of the box with .010–.046 strings and a factory E standard setup, plus a strap button on the upper horn for balance
