The bridge design is indeed unusual. I can believe there were only five made.... But what throws me is the model number being 1768, which is simply a deep bowl cutaway Elite with no special appointments.

It may be a custom order, my custom Folkore has several unusual features but has the current "ordinary" Folklore model number on the label

A custom order makes sense, but a custom order of five makes less sense. What about the special Nutmeg finish that looks like sunburst?

These guitars were made for the overseas market. They've got a ton of abalone on them, but rosewood fingerboards. I've seen them pop up at times in music stores and on ebay, but never with a bridge like this one.

I have seen the N (Nakao) series Elites made for the Japanese market, but they are identified as such by the model number. This is simply an odd guitar.

Well, I think I have said that enough times....
