Correct.

Overall, they are similar to a Southern Jumbo but with a few cosmetic differences. The Custom Shop labels inside are signed by Ren Ferguson, although I don't know what work he actually did on them. They made about 60 of them and they were sold by Long & McQuade and other dealers in Canada. Some ended up with collectors in Japan. I've had mine for many years and love it to pieces. A very sweet sounding guitar.

Here's mine:



And a video of an identical one (not mine):
