I'd forgotten how great a movie it is. Anyway there's a section with Neil Diamond playing a Custom Legend (which didn't appear to be plugged-in) I've seen a few Custom Legends like his, with no carving on the bridge or rod-cover but inlaid MOP or abalone diamonds instead. McCartney's were like this & maybe Joan Armatrading's. Was this an "artist" thing or has anyone seen or owned a production version?

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that it might be a prototype. And if memory serves, it appeared to have a standard (non abalone)rosette. I, too, would be interested to know more about these guitars! Happy New Year to all!! Jeff
