..... John's Bongo5 is a very fine flake silver that we've actually never offered in production. ....the matte appearance of the body comes from the very fine metallic used to make the base color.
... it is still up in the air if we will offer this as a production finish or if it will be an exclusive for John. Although you may like it, you may not want to pay for it.
Hope that helps clear up the mystery.
Double thanks here, Jon. I've been wondering about it, too - but have kept quiet until we could get the actual information.
Certainly looks like an awesome finish, but I wonder about the upcharge.
Future Limited Edition color, maybe?
