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.

One of two "sibling" instruments. Stay tuned for more.

G&L Custom Shop This Legacy will have a parchment pickguard. The two Spalted Alder siblings will be on display at this year's Summer NAMM show in Nashville.
Just finished up this beautiful ASAT HHRMC in our new Aqua Burst over Spalted Alder with Okoume body and a DFV bridge.
The neck is hand-selected Caribean Rosewood fingerboard and Ghost Flame Maple.

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

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?
