Looking at the label I've got to ask if there were several "custom" labels attached to instruments. For that matter were there special issues for certain stores? Any noteworthy units come to mind.

Joined: July 2003 Posts: 1922 Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | I think the "standard" Legend looks like this one at Elderly Instruments, though.... http://www.elderly.com/new_instruments/items/1777-NAT.htm Interesting rosette. I personally prefer the regular one, but that's me....also, I would not be happy to have this big "GUITAR CENTER" logo on my label!!!! Anyone notice that the rosettes are different between 6- and 12-string Legends??? The 6-strings appear to have a thinner one with finish showing at the sound hole, the 12s have the more "classic" full rosette all the way up to the edge. Chat room??? There's a chat room???
