Location: CT | I think it was agreed here that it is a 5 S, not SS, probably referring to a prototype color. 5s or black sunburst. It doesn't have the red tint that the other bursts have going from the center outwards. |

| I've never seen an early Legend with no truss-rod cover, but a stacked tone/vol preamp.. when where the Kaman Music Group labels used? |

Location: CT | Kaman Music Group labels were used on non-production models. Prototypes for testing different finishes or other things. Note the serial number is a date of production, not a number in the producion run (06-16-81). Early 80's Legends had the stacked knobs and no TRC, I have an 84 Custom Legend like that. |

| Maybe for me too, but it's unique enough in that it's a non-production Legend and in NOS condition. Something to buy and keep. |
