Are there any Artist Customs with ebony 'boards?

Been playing rosewood fingerboard Hamers since '86 when Jol concocted my first TLE. Thought I was contented, even happy. Then a miscreant here at HFC ruined my life by selling me his Artist Ultimate. To my dismay, I discovered that I love playing the ebony 'board on that Hamer semi-hollow. While my rosewood 'board Newport Pro Custom — again, thanks to an HFC-er — is my other passion, I lust for an ebony 'board Artist Custom but do not know if any were built. 

Surely, one of the sages here will know for certain.

(Full disclosure: I fear that my status as an HFC-er in good standing might be threatened by two confessions: I like both first fret inlays and gold hardware. Must be a genetic defect. )

 
If it says 'Hamer' on the headstock, you can bet somewhere out there is one so equipped.

Prying it loose from it's current owner is a different story....

 
Though I don’t own either, I like first fret block inlays ala Fender rosewood necks and gold hardware too. 

 
There are several Artist Customs and Studio Customs that people on this board have ordered over the years.  

 
DaveH, if you hear unconstrained expressions of greed, lust and envy you may safely assume they are coming from up here in Louisville.
