Available with a Bigsby or Stoptail they came fitted with BurstBucker II and III pickups with the neck pickup reverse wound for an out-of-phase sound in the middle position.

The inlayed modern style Gibson logo is joined by a "Boneyard" logo on peghead face. The bound 22-fret rosewood fingerboard has Aged acrylic trapezoid position inlays. Pickups are Burstbucker 2 (neck) and Burstbucker 3 (bridge) the neck pickup has reversed polarity for an out of phase tone in the middle position. The hardware is nickel plated throughout with a ABR-1/Stopbar bridge/tailpiece combo and Kluson deluxe style tuners with tulip buttons.
The guitar is in great condition- the top on this one is particularly nicely figured and the overall appearance is great with the green Tiger finish a real departure from the traditional cherry Sunburst. There is a minor bit of wear to the top of the neck - likely from the foam on a guitar hangar - and a couple of light bruises to the back of the neck - but the top and rear are free of any noticeable marks. Internally the guitar still has the original pickups - out of phase in the middle position - and with the exception of one replaced pot the loom and pots are stock. The neck has a comfortable yet apologetically chunky ’58 style profile with a depth of 23.56mm at the 1st fret and 26.5mm at the 12th. The nut is the standard 43.33mm wide. Playability is excellent with a straight neck and minimal fret wear. The Burstbucker pickups cover a lot of ground and the out of phase tone is an excellent addition.
The guitar comes with its original Limited Edition Gibson Case with silkscreened Boneyard Logo.
