Can confirm that the rio cranberry color is exclusive to the limited 82 run. The regular production model (in seafoam green, black, and white) is coming this summer, according to designer patty palazzo. There are plans for an eventual 5 string as well. But yes, other than the color, drop d, inlay, bag and strings set, the production models are “identical” to the limited run. I think what the poster meant is that all the electronics etc will be identical
