The Gary Clark Jr. Signature SG was introduced in late 2017 for the 2018 model year. It is heavily based on the discontinued '61 Reissue design. There was no production limit, as these were part of the regular model lineup for 2018.
Note: Gloss Yellow finished models commonly have issues with premature finish checking.
