Here is my ASAT neck pocket dates that are 2 years apart. Still a 3 bolt at the end of 1998. Any insight???? Left over high Birdseye maple neck??? Then they add the bright green swirl to show it off???? I have no clue...do you. Pics to come when I get it back from setup.
http://s1117.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... 7646434882I can think of a couple of scenarios:
1. Necks and bodies were built in batches and stored. As an order came in, the factory would build a guitar from these
pre-built parts. And yes, necks and bodies could be stored and unused for a year or two.
2. The date stamp used for either body or neck had the wrong year set.
This has been seen before but it's really anyone's guess as to how yours came about.
