Thanks, Chris, and Bob for the initial post!
The blue WSM is the real deal. I acquired it from a connected friend of mine. The official story is that it was a "limited run," but no one seems to know what or when. Limited might only be one, which from my understanding, is quite possible to do. I know it's not a very exciting back story, but it is all I know.
I absolutely love the color, and while it will be a bit of a challenge to keep showroom clean, the blue really stands out.
It has been years since I've dropped in at the TVWBB. This is such a great community. I'm glad the blue WSM pulled me out of the shadows. I'm going to update my blog post, so anyone who happens to find it there, or on Flickr, can know as much as I do.
Of course, if I ever happen to learn more, I will be sure to pass it on!
Cheers all!
Mike
