This SG Modern is a serious contender for players wanting a modern take on a classic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coil-splitting opens up a lot of single-coil territory, adding chime and clarity, but the ProBuckers retain a good amount of low-end even in single-coil mode.
Yes, the asymmetrical Slim Taper is noticeably more comfortable than a traditional 'C' shape, especially for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a faster feel.
The trapeze tailpiece will generally have a slightly more dampened sustain compared to a stop tail, but the mahogany body still provides a respectable amount of resonance.
