In 1961 the gibson sg les paul standard and the gibson sg les custom were introduced on the market and until this day these gibson

guitars are some of the most popular electric guitars ever made .

They had 2 pointed twin cutaways , the sg les paul custom was finished in black or white ( 3 humbuckers ) and the sg les paul standard was finished in cherry red ( 2 humbuckers ).

In 1961 another double pointed cutaway style body emerged on the market and was called the gibson sg special , the sg special was basically a another but less fancy version of the ">sg les paul standard ,

it had 2 p-90 soap bar pickups , dot inlays ( not trapezoid ) ,pearl gibson logo on the peghead,

nickel hardware , wrap around tailpiece ,mahogany body ,small pickguards , bound neck like the standard and were finished in cherry red or white ( cream ) finish .

In 1962 gibson maestro vibratos were optional and in 1965 larger pickguards were fitted surrounding the pickups.

In 1971 gibson discontinued the gibson sg special and replaced it with the sg pro . The gibson sg pro had a tune o matic bridge , bigsby vibrato , and were made in walnut and natural mahogany finishes .

In 1972 the sg pro was discontinued and reintroduced as the gibson sg special with 2 black mini humbucking pickups ( some w/ p-90s ), tune o matic bridges , 3 point pickguards , unbound fingerboards and were made in cherry or walnut finishes .

In 1973 , block inlays , pearl logos and SG on the truss rod covers were added and were discontinued in 1978 .
