The SG Standard 120 was a limited run model for 2014, essentially offering the specs of the 1991-2012 Standard and celebrating the 120th Anniversary of Gibson. These models seem to have been shipped with both the Grover and TonePros versions of "Deluxe" style tuners. The way to tell the difference is that the Grovers say "Gibson Deluxe" on the back, whereas the TonePros say "Kluson Deluxe".
