Composite Acoustic (CA) Bluegrass vs Legacy Dreadnoughts...

Curious. Pre Peavey, CA made the dreadnoughts in multiple models.

What is the difference between the Bluegrass and regular Legacy models? Is it just that the Legacy has electronics? Or are there tonal differences?

(And then there's the Vintage....apparently.)

Thanks for any insight. In particular, would love to hear any who played both.

... and there was also the Tim Stafford Signature model. I had a Tim Stafford and another dreadnought model which I can't recall the model of immediately. Both these guitars had Onboard Fishman Aura systems and were the most expensive CA dreadnought models as of 2009. All of the CA dreadnoughts sounded really nice including a Peavey 2011 CA RAW model that I also had.
