For those of you with inside knowledge... Are all of the guitars in the Vault one-offs? Or would they make another if it had appeared there recently?

Some are one offs, some aren't. If you look it says if they are in stock, and you can see some say there are multiples.

The reason for my question is I saw a gasoline LIII on Reverb a couple months back. It says you can order and it will ship within 4 months. Just wondering if other colors might be available the same way. I didn't have the cash available when the Candy Red LIII showed up a couple of weeks ago - curious if they would take an order for one now.

Call them and ask. We're be only guessing.

I’d be curious to hear what they say if you call

Some are one offs some are not and sometimes you get a one off by accident, take the Silos, you can only get them through the vault in Snowy White per the site specs but are basically a production model.

I ordered a Silo Special through the vault and it came without a matching headstock which was an accident so i got a one off accidentally :)

The Luke I just ordered was a one off others are limited not sure if they make more once gone, as suggested call and ask would be curious.

On the Ryan Bruce factory walkthrough "Paint" video at around 21:21 I see a Trans Buttermilk Valentine body. A color not made anymore. It COULD be a special one made for James Valentine but who knows. I do wonder how one-offs come to be. My buttermilk Val was made in November of 2018-- by that point they were onto the next generation of colorways. I wonder how much overlap is planned when new colors come out.

The Albert Lee guitars-- which I mentioned in another thread-- seem to really only be currently available via the vault, not dealers-- except oddly enough when there is a BFR Albert Lee.

I do not believe that they are all one offs. I live in the town where the factory is and drove right there and picked up a one of a kind AXIS but I think that some in the vault are multiples. I don't know why they don't have more of their models available in the vault.

I have no inside knowledge, but just being an observant person (I also only look at L models as only those are interesting to me), I think that The Vault models are one offs made either from leftover parts or most often as experiments they try -- different finish/wood options for production and BFR runs. So those are, "no go" if you will. Taking this into account, I doubt they will be remaking anything again. This is my ignorant opinion of course :)

Hi,

As stated some are one offs and some are production models only sold through the Vault, I have several that are one offs or one of just a few, have another on the way that I am pretty sure is a one off
