A Little SG History
In 1961, the Les
Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production
costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed
the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961,
the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory
and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class
artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
