Limited-edition variants include the SG Robot Special and the limited-edition Robot SG LTD. In 2008, Gibson introduced the Robot SG, which feature a motorized tuning system developed by Tronical.
Approximately 200 active SGs were produced. The resulting SG had a slightly thicker body to accommodate the extra circuitry, and was dubbed the “Gibson SG-R1.” The SG-R1 was renamed the “ SG Artist” in 1981, and was discontinued shortly afterwards. Gibson experimented with an SG that included the same Moog active electronics that had previously been used in another Gibson model, the RD Artist. In 1980, the first SG manufactured with "active" factory pickups was introduced. All three guitars were discontinued after about a year, replaced by the "firebrand" series, again made of mahogany. "The Paul" was also made from walnut, but "The ES" was made out of solid mahogany (rather than the semi-solid body they usually produced). It had a clear finish and a low grade, streeked ebony fingerboard and was accompanied by a low cost "Les Paul" and "ES 335" type guitars. In 1979 a low cost SG made of walnut wood was intruduced called "The SG.". By the end of the seventies, the SG models returned to the original sixties styling, and modern (1991–present) standard and special models have mostly returned to the 1967-1969 styling and construction, with a few exceptions various reissues and other models of the SG still retain the original 1961-1967 styling. In 1972 the design went back to the original style pickguard and rear-mounted controls but with the neck now set further into the body, joining roughly at the 20th fret. Vibrato (tremolo arm) tailpieces were also introduced as options.

The low-end SG-100 and the P-90 equipped SG-200 appeared during this time, as well as the luxurious SG Pro and SG Deluxe guitars.
This design continued until 1971, when variations of the SG were sold with a raised Les Paul style pickguard and a front-mounted control plate. Models produced between 19 have the original small pickguard in 1966 the guitar was redesigned slightly with a different neck joint, and the modern larger semi-symmetrical "batwing" pickguard first appeared in 1967. Over the years, Gibson has offered many variations of the SG, and continues to manufacture special editions, including models such as the Special and Faded Special, Supreme, Artist Signature SGs, Menace, and Gothic, as well as the premium-priced VOS reissues of the sixties SG Standard and Custom. However, Gibson's current core variants as of 2010 are the SG Standard and the SG Special. At the launch of the SG in 1961, Gibson offered four variants of the SG the SG Junior (a stripped-down version of the standard, analogous to the Les Paul Junior), the SG Special, the SG Standard, and the top-of-the-line SG Custom.
