Me neither.
If this were a true custom shop, why would the bass need to be set up and inspected in the USA?

I was kind of confused about that whole custom shop thing too. IS there (or was there) a custom shop in the Korean plant?

Andy's right, the red, blue and white ones were all limited editions as colors. My red Epi had that same custom shop stamp on the neck too - Alas, it went bye-bye in favor of a lefy J neck to become my F'Bird, Matt (Poomwah) has it now

Birds look good in any color unlike grabbers.

Usually I'm not a huge fan of the painted Birds, but the blue really looked good on it. And I think Rippers and Grabbers look awesome in all black.

What's wrong with blue Grabbers, meine Herren! Black and blue ones to be precise ...
Or Kalamazoos ...
Non-Revs ...
or the mighty Mon(k)ey bass

I did a bunch of color studies for my Ripper / Blueshawk and could not find something I could fall in love with color wise.
This is the best color I have seen on one, in my opinion-
Black on black is still the best combo for a Ripper to me.

Okay, I'll buy into that blue Grabber: it DOES look good. And the NR as well, but it makes me really wish I'd bought that darn NR Epi I saw on eBay some months ago. Argh!
