Is This A Custom 335

[weekendstate]

Sorry this may be better suited to ID Information thread.

 

My friend has an ebony 2004 ES335TD with gold hardware which seems rare unless its a Lucille (which it isn't). He has picked this up through trading other guitars so doesn't have full history or paperwork. The guitar also has an orange label which to me suggests but does not guarantee its a custom model. Is there anyway to tell for sure without paperwork?

 

Here are some pics one of which shows the serial:

Gibson have replied to this one, its a standard model and the gold hardware is original.

 

Swift response from them, great service.
