Yes that's a custom model Brian commissioned from Andrew Guyton no more than a couple or few years ago. I think Guyton has photos on either his personal or business Facebook accounts, I'll have a look tonight to see if I can copy it over here.

It was built in 2010/11

The guitar originally had two pickups, volume and tone and a single three way pickup toggle selector and no scratch plate. It featured a shallow carved maple top and a second F hole.

From memory I don't think it had binding on the back of the body, which was deep red mahogany.

Earlier this year BM asked Andrew Guyton to carry out the mods that resulted in the guitar as it is now. It is also fitted Piezo pickup in the bridge for clean acoustic sounds

The original guitar before this modification had a very flutey Jazz tone.
BM's original Red Special plans featured two pick ups with an F hole
