Unusual factory features

Special Edition 5120 for StreetSounds NYC. #10 of 16 produced. Comes with the following upgrades from the standard 5120:

Two-tone blue color scheme (see photo)
Tru-Arc aluminum bullet bridge
Truss rod cover reads "StreetSounds Edition 1"
Back of headstock has "10/16" handwritten in black magic marker.
Khaki brown tweed case.

Model note: in keeping with the other 5120 model numbers, this guitar is designated as a G5120-TTB (Two-Tone Blue).

During Balto-DC 2012, Rocky Schiano of StreetSounds NYC told me the color scheme came from his Dad's grocery store.
