SG Xtra Slim

The **SG Xtra Slim** was a limited edition model produced only for the 2015 model year and was only sold in Canada and Europe. The name is a reference to its slim neck profile. Unlike most other models built in 2015, it has a narrower nut instead of a wider one. A similar neck profile and nut width can be found on the Angus Young Signature model. The Xtra Slim is based on the body design of the SG Special. Although promotional photos depicted an "SG" stamped truss rod cover, they were shipped to dealers with a blank truss rod cover.

Body & Beveling

One of the major design elements of the Gibson SG is the body's beveled edges. Over the years, there has been considerable variation in the style and depth of the beveling. Being done by hand, it can even vary substantially within the same year, but it became noticeably more consistent after the 1960s. With the introduction of the SG-62 in 1986, there was a divergence in beveling style/depth between models based on the SG-62 and the other SG models. Then, with the introduction of the Historic Collection SGs in 2000, another new style was added alongside the other two. More recently, there has been a proliferation in changes to beveling style with new models being introduced and the much more frequent redesigning of existing models since 2014.

Another aspect of beveling style is how, if at all, the horns are tapered. The original Les Paul / SG models featured horn tips that tapered to the depth of the bevels. This is easier shown than explained, so see the picture to the right. As the bevels decreased in depth through the 1960s, tapering naturally waned as well until the bevels no longer even touched each other at the horns. Only with the SG-62's introduction in 1986 did this technique return. This was exclusive to the SG-62 and any models that used the same body (like the Custom and SG-90), while the Standard (and any models using the same body, like the Special) did not have tapered horns even after 1986. In 2000, the SG was redesigned for the Historic Collection with increased tapering to match the deeper, more historically accurate beveling of those models.

## Standard vs. '61 Reissue body (1991 - Present)

As you can see above, the body design of the Standard has the controls further inboard, whereas the '61 Reissue has them closer to the edge of the body. On the back side, the Standard has a larger, more rounded control plate which is of course set further inboard, while the '61 Reissue has a smaller and more angular control plate. All of this can help in determining which body a given model is based on. Typically, the body design includes the heel shape as well. In terms of beveling, the biggest differences are the treble cutaway bevel and the outer bass horn bevel being deeper on the '61. Another difference is the lack of a treble cutaway bevel on the back side of the '61 Reissue. In 2013, the Standard was redesigned with the body and beveling of the '61 Reissue. The old style would return in 2016 on the Standard T, while the Standard HP would use the '61 Reissue body/beveling. That would continue until 2019, when the Standard and Tribute both gained the '61 style beveling and control placement, while retaining the old style heel design.
Caza y Recolección

**Caza y Recolección** incluye tanto al recolector de frutas como al granjero, al pescador y al cazador. Se ganan la vida recolectando y produciendo alimento, el cual es distribuido en la comunidad.

Es una **profesión general**. Los atributos asociados a esta profesión son Constitución y Sabiduría. Las herramientas asociadas con esta profesión son:

* *Utensilios de cocinero*, o *Cook's utensils*
* *Armas*

Al ser una **profesión general**, obtiene mayor cantidad de coronas que las profesiones de elaboración.

Sin embargo, esto no quiere decir que no pueda elaborar nada. Un cazador/recolector puede elaborar **raciones**, las cuales son muy útiles para los aventureros que hacen viajes largos. Puede incluso hacer hasta cinco raciones de comida por tirada. La **dificultad de elaboración** para raciones de comida es de 5, y cuesta 0,25👑 producir cada ración.
SG R1 / Artist

Introduced in 1980, the **SG R1** was a limited run of 200 units, distinguished by it's active electronics designed by Bob Moog (first introduced on the RD model). This would be the first ever SG with active electronics, and also has a 1/4" thicker body to accommodate the electronics. In 1981, it was renamed the **SG Artist** but was soon discontinued.

Gibson USA

The term **Gibson USA** refers to Gibson's standard production line models, as opposed to those built by the Custom Shop. Before the Custom Shop was created in 1993, there was no such distinction because Gibson only ever had one production line. Gibson USA models are all built in the Nashville factory (Memphis does not build solidbodies, so until they make a semi-hollow SG, they're not relevant to this wiki).

   However, just because the USA line is the standard production line doesn't mean limited runs only come out of the Custom Shop. In fact, very many limited runs have come from the USA line over the years. From as early as 1982, Gibson put a "Custom Shop" decal on the back of the headstock of any limited run or custom order guitar. With these decals, "Custom Shop **Edition**" denotes a limited run, while "Custom Shop **Original**" denotes a custom order (custom orders moved exclusively to the Custom Shop in 1993). Those decals ended use around 1993.

   In a similar style to the actual Custom Shop decal, Gibson also put a "Limited Edition" decal on limited runs from the USA line during the 1990s. That logo is pictured to the right. All guitars bearing this logo were built on the USA production line, and not by the Custom Shop.

**Note on production numbers:** Even if a model was only produced for a single year, that doesn't make it a limited run. Only limited runs have specified production limits, which will be stated in the corresponding model's page. Any model only produced for a single model year was produced at roughly the same rate as any other model produced that year.

SG Select

The **SG Select** was introduced in 2007, briefly displacing the SG Supreme as the most expensive Gibson USA SG, and was only produced through early 2008. Unlike the Supreme (which was based on a '61 Reissue), the Select was based on the SG Standard. Its features are similar to the SG Elegant, and it could be seen as a USA version of that model. Unlike both of those guitars, however, it featured a solid flamed maple body all the way through, with no mahogany back.

**Note:** Promotional photos displayed kidney bean tuner buttons, but production models appear to all feature keystone buttons.

SG Special Voodoo

The **SG Special Voodoo** was a variant of the SG Special introduced in 2002 and features a distinctive finish; an ebony base coat, followed by red grain filler and sealed with a clear satin lacquer topcoat. Combined with the distinctive grain of Swamp Ash, it creates a look similar to bloody streaks across the body. It was discontinued in 2005.

In 2019, a new version was produced as a Zzounds/AMS exclusive. The biggest changes were a Richlite fretboard and Maple neck, as well as the finish.

Epiphone '81 SG Standard

The **Epiphone '81 SG Standard** (unofficial name) was a short-lived model sold only on the Japanese market, as a way of competing with the Japanese copies proliferating at the time. This model is a remarkably accurate copy (down to the crown inlay placement) of a 1981 Gibson SG Standard. These guitars were made in Japan by Mastumoku, as were all Epiphones at the time. The official name and production timeline is unknown as this model did not appear in any catalogs, but its Les Paul siblings were produced from 1982-1986.

What made these unique was that they had upscale features (like set necks) that the other Epiphone solidbodies did not have at the time. Also, they were the *first ever Epiphone copies of a Gibson guitar*. Prior to these models, all Epiphones were original designs or re-branded Japanese designs, and most recently prior, vague facsimiles of older Epiphone designs. Some of these models may have been sold on the American market.

The only feature differences from a Gibson are the polyurethane finish, one-piece neck and lack of a volute.

This model is most closely related to the Matsumoku-built Aria Pro II SL-420, but has significant changes to bring it closer to a real Gibson.

Jeff Tweedy Signature SG

The **Jeff Tweedy Signature SG** was introduced in 2012 as a limited run. It is the only SG ever made by Gibson to feature a Natural finished neck with a pigmented/dyed body. Tweedy himself can be seen using a prototype with a 50th Anniversary logo, which was also shown on Gibson's website accidentally. It seems the model was originally intended to be released in 2011 but apparently delayed, because the model code was "SG50W", presumably denoting "50th Anniversary Wilco model". Contrary to rumors, there was no production limit of 200 or so units as is sometimes claimed. The run was only limited in the sense that it was a single year run.

Jimi Hendrix Signature SG

The **Jimi Hendrix Signature 1967 SG Custom** was introduced in late 2020. Despite the name, this model is not a dedicated reissue of a 1967 SG Custom, because it lacks the heel design used in 1967 and just has the same heel as the '63 Custom Reissue, as well as having a different nut width, different pickup magnets and other smaller discrepancies from a 1967. This was the first SG to use Gibson's '68 Custom pickups.
