I have a friend who is a friend of Robin's. According to Mike (who has two 1960 450's) Robin's is a '59. Mike mentioned not long ago that, Robin also had a Jetglo that he loaned to his sister in Colorado. After having it for many years, and not thinking about it, she sold it. He said Zander just laughs about it.

4C482A. 1959 is best guess as the SN predates the dating system.

It was damaged in the Ottawa Stage collapse a few years back. The restoration was well done. Although the folks at Gibson's Restoration / Custom Shop on Facebook were trying to move the neck by turning the truss rods. The thread got rather exciting on Facebook at the time, with about 10 folks screaming NOO! lol

Zander's 450 was stolen from Johnny Ramone in NYC back in the late 70s.

Robin Zander swears up and down that it's not the same guitar, but it obviously is...
