1972 Gibson SG catalogue page 4

Gibson 1972 solidbody catalogue. page 4. Details of the Gibson SG Deluxe. The SG Deluxe was announced in June of 1971, and manufactured between mid 1971 and mid 1972. In many ways it was a renamed and redesigned SG Standard which was dropped at the same time. Like the Standard it came equipped with two humbuckers, and vibrola, but it also underwent the changes that were being introduced in many Gibsons at the time; smaller raised pickguard (rather than full face), surrounds on humbuckers, Bigsby (rather than Maestro) vibrola, and front-routed control panel. Examine the 1970 spec Gibson SG standard for comparison

Other features are all Gibson deluxe: laminated curly maple body, binding on top and bottom, bound fingerboard, bound peghead, ebony fingerboard, split-diamond overlay headstock, pearloid split-diamond fingerboard inlays, 6-way Varitone switch that filters tone from fat to thin, and '57 Classic pickups (the original Gibson humbuckers from 1957). The magnets and 42-gauge enamel-coated wire are from the original suppliers and the pickups are built by Gibson on the original machinery.
