SG most certainly stands for Solid Guitar.
Les Pauls werent selling well in 1959-60, so they decided to change the body style to the SG, but still call it a Les Paul. The original Les Paul style was discontinued, hence why 1959 Les Pauls are worth north of $500K
Les Paul didnt like the SG style and asked his name be taken off it, but Gibson had excess stock of les Paul logos, etc.. so they used them on the very early SG's.
