Any idea if it's still the Legacy/S-500 body shape or is it the thinner horned "soloist" style of the past? I've seen a spec sheet on one dealer website with the old style body and recently sold ones with the Legacy/S-500 body on another. Anyone know for sure? Thanks!

The photo got me thinking.... would it still be considered an upcharge to order an Invader with a DF vibrato or Saddle Lock bridge (as pictured) instead of a Floyd? Surely the Floyd is more costly for them?
