Gibson used a five-piece laminated body and they used both walnut and maple for tops, but after walnut tops proved to be more popular, they finished many of the maple top guitars with custom color finishes. Towards the end of the production run in 1982, regular exposed humbucker pickups replaced the V-shaped "Boomerang" pickups, the pickguard was removed, and a gold decal logo was introduced. Gibson offered a promotion where the owner could get a personalized truss rod cover.
