So the serial does come up as a Custom Shop set but we no longer have the records on that model. It was completed in 1999 and previous to 2002 we kept those records in filing cabinets and did not digitize them for custom orders or limited editions, only for catalog models. So basically we can tell that the build was a custom job from 1999 but we don't have the exact specs of the guitar.

First he says that they did keep records in filing cabinets, and then he says they don't have the specs. Does that mean that they destroyed the records, or that they won't bother looking through physical paper records?


Most likely destroyed. That is how most business companies do to make room for newer files and some still do today. Many companies will keep records for 5 years and then destroyed if not converted to digital data and those also get destroyed after 20 or so years.

I wish I could find out which luthier at the Custom Shop built it, and who it was built for! Somebody on this forum must know - or know who to ask to find out.

If it were built by one luthier it would most likely have their id on the headstock which it does not so possibly team built. Look for inspection and build stamps on the back of the neck if you dare remove it.
The amp itself may have a signature inside the cab :D

OP, that is a beautiful guitar and amp. The finish on the guitar is sort of similar to my CS Deluxe Strat, but even more blingy. Never seen anything like it to be honest, keep hold of it.
