I read an interesting story about the guitar. if I get it right:
Gibson had planned on phasing out the Les Paul. The SG was designed to be Gibson's Solid Guitar (hence the "SG" name). The double cutaway was an improvement as well as the lighter weight body. This was supposed to become their flagship guitar.
The problem was that traditionalists were outraged and too many people still demanded the Les Paul.
