Default New to me Yamaha A3R - What's the VS mean?

I just acquired a 2012 Yamaha A3R. I really like how it feels, plays and sounds, but I'm curious about the info tag/sticker inside the body. Below the model number on the tag, in a smaller font, it says VS. Anyone know what this means? I've found nothing about it on the interwebs.

I was going to suggest "Very Sexy" or at least that is what I would be telling everyone.

MAYBE. Yamaha site shows the available colors as "Vintage Natural" or "Tobacco Brown Sunburst". "Vintage Sunburst"? Maybe a past color option combining the 2. Maybe.

I'm ok having an unlisted finish. Maybe they discontinued the vintage sunburst after 2012.
