This sort of counts, it has the DBK body though lol. This guitar plays and sounds amazing despite its small flaws from being a workhorse for so many years. The top pic is how it looks currently.

Wow, is that really a factory finish? What is the model number or color code? Was it a Japan-only model? The pickups must be an aftermarket mod.

No, don't think it was a factory finish. Jim Donahue told me they made piles of one off finishes on guitars in 1989 as gifts for Hoshino employees and people who collaborated with them on projects but most of them were RG760's. The pickups are aftermarket yeah.

Very cool, I didn't know that. Do you have any more information or pictures of (some of) those one-offs?

I'm afraid not. The guitar below is a 1989 model, looks like a 760 but don't think it's a one off, pretty sure I've seen another of those. Finish is very like the UCMD1GS models:
