What's up with the Headstock logo?

What's up with the Headstock logo?

Post by nsnate02 »

So I've looked all over to find a black body maple neck Legacy and came across this one. However, the Logo on the head-stock looks a bit different than anything I have or have seen on a Legacy. What's the story with this? "Legacy" is plain black and looks misplaced. Also, maybe it's the poor camera quality, but the head-stock shape looks a bit off.

The add describes that one as dark solid blue rather than black - it's difficult to say from the photos...

That being said, the "Legacy" decal does seem to be too near the edge.

This a Tribute Series Legacy. This font was used on Tributes in the past, not sure when they changed to the font more similar to the USA built units... 2014 or 2015 I think. I'm pretty sure it is blueburst. It is a tough color to photograph. In most adds for used equipment they tend to look black.

Not sure if the name is in the wrong location or someone trimmed the headstock.
