Epiphone G-400 Custom 3 pickup SG body style year unknown

I'm not sure of the year but it's fairly old.
All gold hardware, as is the usual on these, but the gold's pretty tarnished, especially on the pickup covers. It's in fair condition.
I have a feeling this is one of the first line of LP/SG reissues because the tuners are the white tipped vintage-nonlocking style, and after epiphone brought back the SG/LP reissue the second time, they came factory with Grover tuners.

Here's mine:

Hey PIAS,

According to the Blue Book, The early release was produced from 1998 to 2000 and then the model was reintroduced beginning in 2003.

The BB values a G-400 Custom at $375 in Excellent condition. MSR is $832.

Thanks. Mine is probably more like good condition.
