Huh? So how are these different to the last HPs? From what I can tell different pickups and tops... Why??

The SG Standard HP-II is a classic SG double-cutaway style guitar with the new twist of an elegant AA figured maple top added to the traditional solid-mahogany body and neck. Featuring advanced materials including titanium adjustable zero fret nut and bridge saddles for improved performance, frets over binding, soloist neck width, and fast-access heel. Immense tones are driven by two humbucking pickups with DIP switch and 2 push-pull top hats, appointed with eye-catching chrome knobs. A slightly thicker body provides for more precise weight offset and overall improved balance in the guitar.

I feel like the big companies have a quota as to how many new releases they need to do each year. With these its basically as little as they can change, but just enough to differentiate it as an 'upgrade' on the previous version
