What model of Luke is this? (played by SL on 2012-13 Ringo Starr tour)

Apologies if this has been asked before, but what model of EBMM Luke is this?

The paint job looks very like the BFR True Gold.

Was this model available to buy or was it just a one-off made for the man himself?

I believe the true gold Luke's with rosewood necks were one of the first guitars available through the premiere dealer network. There is one on eBay currently.

The one he's playing in the pic seems to have a light (maple?) neck and headstock, and it doesn't have the BFR logo inset into the 12th fret, which is why I suspect it's a different model?

If I recall correctly it is indeed his true gold one with the rosewood neck swapped for a maple neck...I believe there was a thread on the topic.

EDIT: I found the thread, here you go!

And then it changed again, so I asked him about it this summer and this was his response...

Cool. I've always loved the look and feel of the maple but the roasted maple looks gorgeous too!
