2002 H-555 Custom Select?

[HELPnoEMAILconfirmEVER]

OK, need an interpretation.  If a 2002 H-555 says  "Classic" on the internal sticker but on the certificate (which matches the Serial #) it says "Custom Select".  What the heck does that mean? It appears to have 3 piece maple neck.  Other than that it appears to be a normal H-555.  Any insights would be appreciated.

My recollection about the classics is that these were ordered by Jay Wolfe and had Gibson-like bridges and tailpieces.  I also think they had SD pickups.  The maple neck was common back then but inconsistently done.  I've had a one piece, two piece, and three piece on H-555s made in that era.

Custom select could mean anything, but the select probably refers to the woods.  They probably charged extra money for each of those two words.  Currently those words are custom core.

Thanks, in fact, the certificate is signed by Wolfe.  Do you know is there anyway to determine if it has HRW pups without looking at the back of the pup?
