i need help with any info on this SG.
I purchased a second hand Epiphone SG a couple years ago and Ive never been able to identify what model it is or see any others kicking around.
all other Epiphone SG's ive seen have different specs and i dont believe mine has been moded.
i havent found any other SG with a batwing pickguard, grover tuners, trapezoid inlays and chrome humbuckers.
i understand it says limited edition custom shop on the back of the headstock, meaning it may possibly be a one off, but surely theres something online that acknowledges the existence of this guitar or something.
(also quality seems good and not a fake, frets are nice but the action is a little high on the 12th fret and the bridge is bottomed out)
help identifying SG !!

Thanks for the help.
yea, batwing pick-guards look ace. i got it second hand for £120. the 1966 reissue SG is the closest thing i can find, on photos the black colour-way, the tuners look like grovers and not the classic Kluson's seen on the cherry. it makes no sense but the Epiphone SG wiki page is all the info i can find.
the only annoying part of the guitar is how the bridge is mounted. there aren't holes in the pick-guard for the bridge posts to sit in like other SG models. the bridge posts friction fit through the pick-guard and into the body and the bridge bottoms out on-top. my string height at the 12th is annoyingly high.
cheers!
