Slight changes to the body carve - 2017: "beveled" top; 2024: "shallow violin carve". Both have 85/15 "S" pickups, but I'd assume slight changes since 2017 - nothing significant. I believe 2017 was the last year of the Korean-made SE's, which IMO (and many others) were superior guitars on many levels compared to the current Indonesian-made SE's. I had a 2017 SE Custom 22 - fantastic guitar for the money.
