GIBSON manufactured the SG TV between 1959 and 1968. From 1959 to 1961 the guitar had a double rounded cutaway body shape (Les Paul Junior style). In 1961 Gibson changed the body shape to SG style. The early Junior style ones (1959-1961) with the double rounded cutaway are reasonably unusual. Originally the SG TV had a large black pickguard which was chaned to a small pickguard in 1966.
