Yeah, we saw that in the factory museum last year. It has some of the features of the early Cheyenne II: walnut on the rear of the body wings and the lovely quilted maple top. But the maple fretboard is a carryover from the Cheyenne I, and the semimatte (or is it semigloss?) finish may be unique to this instrument. I've seen a couple of other heavily quilted Cheyenne IIs, but these had the lowered pickups and bubinga fretboards. These were all previous to the Cheyenne IIb (if I may coin the designation) where body construction went to the maple/walnut/maple sandwich.
All fodder for the book.
