I found a BlahBlah model Bleep but its a color not listed. Is it a custom or special model?
This is more than likely not the case. Although many options, features, appointments, and finishes are listed in a catalog’s specs, this does not mean that is all that was available from the factory. Every smart company tests the market, making minor variations available. It may be a limited run, but that doesn’t mean it was special order, “custom shop”, or otherwise one-off. Also, with Matsumoku guitars, some of the aforementioned features were changed according to the targeted geographical market. What was available here in the States may not have been in the UK, and the reverse. Models and variations may have become available first in one location, then later in another, and by that time the specs may have changed. Without a verifiable Certificate of Authenticity (COA) it’s pretty much just a guess, hunch, or hope that it’s something rare or one-of-a-kind.
