Obviously, I'm not expecting there to be an exact number, but does anyone have any clue? I'm hoping MGM can weigh in. I'm assuming there are many custom Kamakas floating around; with the company having been around forever. And Kanile'a seems to have several custom level instruments on the market, readily for sale, especially in recent years. Then we have Ko'olau, which, to my understanding, is pretty much a full-on custom shop to begin with, so thusly it would seem that there are lots of them out there.
We always hear about the Black Label KoAloha customs, yet they appear to off-the-grid, so to speak; in that there isn't any readily available info about them via the web. Of course, Consitter has that sweet Black Label that master luthier Paul built, but outside of that, one would be hard-pressed to find any available info regarding these exquisite gems.
From what I know, there are the Black Label level instruments that are entirely constructed by Paul, the Red Label ones, made by staff, and recently I read something on here, that Daniel (nongdam) mentioned, stating there's going to be a new class, White Label, also constructed entirely by Paul? Am I wrong? I could be, but that's why I'm inquiring. I adore KoAlohas, and I own a Red Label, which I'm told was built by Alan Okami (see this thread

Anyway, I'm just looking for some info. Again, I love KoAloha and am so interested in everything about them. Any info would be appreciated. What I'm really hoping for is for any owners to jump in and show us some custom KoAloha love!
