There were two different custom guitar shops that made these guitars: Bolin Guitars, and Jarrett Guitars. The one I'm selling was made by Jarrett. There are a few differences, depending on which shop made them. The Bolin made guitars have "289FIA" engraved on the pickup covers, where the Jarrett models do not. The logo in mother of pearl at the 12th fret is different on each model. On the Bolin Model, the pickguard is silver, and on the Jarrett model, the pickguard is clear and is signed by Carroll Shelby. Another big difference is that the Jarrett Model has a Volume and a Tone control knob, where the Bolin model only has a volume control. The Bolin guitars have Seymour Duncan pickups, while the Jarret guitars have Gibson 57 Classic pickups (thes same as you'll find on high end Gibson Les Paul and
ES-335 guitars). Other than that, they Jarrett and Bolin models are the same.

Here are a couple of owner reviews of the Jarrett Model:
