Some Gibson lap steel trivia that's keeping me awake 
I know EH is "Electric Hawaiian", ES is "Electric Spanish", EB is "Electric Bass", but what on earth does BR stand for? And what about SG?
Please, help me get some sleep.

| Jeez--if I had know that I wouldn't have in gazillion years come up with this answer I wouldn't have sat here on a Sunday morning trying to come up with every possible permutation of those initials. Had some good ones, though. Thanks, Gerald--that's a new piece of knowledge. |

I read once in an article with TedMcCarty that SG stood for "second generation" because the body style was originally the second generation of Les Paul models.
