Gibson SG Supreme Luxurious Double Cuts revealed
New luxurious SG revealed for 2024, the SG Supreme is back
2,8 / 5,0 | 
These new Gibson SG Supreme follow in the footsteps of the Les Paul Supreme models from 2023. With fancy AAA-figured maple tops, ornate inlays, and modern playability.
Gibson SG Supreme
The Gibson SG Supreme models are all about the bling and have plenty of details to keep players’ eyes boggling. This includes the very nice AAA-figured maple, ebony fretboards, luxury inlays, and gold hardware.
Gibson SG Supreme Wine Red
Three Standard Finishes
Available in three distinct finishes Wine Red, Fireburst, and Ebony Burst. Plus a limited run ebony triple humbucker loaded model direct from Gibson. Following the same release pattern as the Les Paul Supreme models that were announced in September 2023.
At the heart of the new Supreme models is a classic double-cut SG body shape, though minus any pickguard. This allows those finishes to stand out and make these guitars shine visually. They are all powered by a set of Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups, which include coil splits for added versatility.
Gibson SG Supreme Fireburst
Mother of Pearl
They also include a lot of Mother of Pearl, with intricate inlays on the ebony fingerboards. Plus, the same Chandelier inlay on the headstock, as the Les Paul Supreme. This was taken from a design recovered from a 1940s blueprint. Add in all that gold hardware and it makes for a very fancy-looking SG.
Gibson SG Supreme Ebony Burst
Compound Radius
Though, at their core, they still have a mahogany body, albeit with a fancy maple cap, and mahogany neck. What is interesting is the inclusion of a modern compound-radius ebony fretboard, which is fitted with 24 medium jumbo frets. I can imagine this should make for a slick playing experience which should please many guitarists.
Verdict
If you like a bit of bling, then these new SG Supreme models could be the guitar for you. They are quite expensive, though they do have a lot of nice visual upgrades and so that adds to the price. For such a down and dirty, rock and roll guitar, these offer a nice touch of class.
MSRP – GBP 3399
