I own a custom shop es 355, serial # is B-97060. Figured cherry w/ gold hardware and bigsby. Would this be a

1959, made in 1997, and the 60th guitar made that year in this series? Also it has a push/pull pot in the neck pickup

tone control. Is this original to a 1959 or has it been installed after Custom Shop built the guitar? Any idea what this could be being used for? I don't hear much of a tone change but the volume gets more aggressive and sounds thicker. God! I love this guitar!!!!!!! Thank you.

yes, the "9" would associate the guitar with a replica of one made in 1959. this serial number just brings up a standard Custom Shop 355 in cherry from 1997...there's no indication of anything custom about it, so i'm assuming that push/pull poit was added by a previous owner.
