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.
