It's nice to know that there maybe 6 of the red 59 customs. I took mine to Hollywood GC and they said maybe 2 of them exist.

Mine came from Denmark!! It has a neck repair so the serial number is gone (probably forever).

I've been searching for someone who may know a little history about these guitars, but it's been a dead-end. This one is late 59, so I've tried to narrow down the serial number, but 59 customs aren't that well documented (like the bursts).
BTW - Guitar center let me play an all-original 59 burst, a 58 custom fretless wonder, and a 57 goldtop. I never thought I would ever even be in the same room with a real burst, but like a dumbass, I didn't take a picture.
