Has The Custom Shop, since it's existence, ever made a guitar with a serial number starting with a "V"?

yes, the first few years they used the VRI serial numbers, which are designated with a "V"

see this '88 example here:

John Page explained to me that the reason behind it was that they didn't have a real serial # system during the early years, due to the fact they concentrated on making guitars so they could keep the factory open.
