Yet to be named? How about Oceanburst?

Very nice looking indeed!

Looks great; wish the Legacy body was rear-mount to show it off better.

Yes, it could have been ordered as Legacy HSS RMC or Legacy HH RMC or S-500 RMC but maybe it was ordered as a standard Legacy, S-500, or Comanche.

Not usually my cup of tea but they do look really nice.
They should have put Doheny p'ups in the ASAT- imho.

They were calling it " Aqua Burst " on one of their instagram feeds.

I have been looking at this guitar through many of its stages of production and every time I feel this pert, sassy guitar is giving me the finger just behind the bridge. Is it just me?
