The 2017 Limited Edition SG Custom was limited run of only 300 units. The most notable features that differentiate it from a regular SG Custom are the Maple top, 490R/498T pickups, Richlite fretboard and lack of a third pickup, among other smaller differences. Some examples appear to have been built in 2018.
