Welcome to the board!
I have one in red also, I belive it was late 1999 or 2000 when they came out.
This is not a vintage era kustom amp, but it does sound fairly good for its small 6" speaker, and the distortion that it has is better than a vintage era k200 serise amp.
Also the amp has enough room to install a far better 8" driver, but getting the amp chassie out is a real fight, as its stuffed so tight inbetween the tuck & roll covering that its almost like they slid the amp in the cabinet and grew the T & C around it!!!
