This is the eighth of my dialectal journals.
In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns that making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul (the guitarist) did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
Now my add-on
Other great guitarists such as Shane Porter, and Jack Black have played this guitar through and through. One must see that the greats truly use the SG.

You've picked an interesting variety of paragraphs. Your commentary especially on the first week's passages was insightful, looking at writing technique as much as at content. See you in class.
