Cleaning day today on my ASAT Classic so I thought I'd pull the neck before lemon oiling the fretboard and putting on some new strings. I took a couple of pictures to keep of the date codes. I know the guitar was finished on July 28th, 2004 according to Dave at G&L who did some researching for me previously through Craig. From the pictures, the body date is July 21, 2004 but I can't see a date on the neck heel other than what looks to be "04" in magic marker. Can anyone else see something I can't?
Can anyone find a date on this neck heel?

I think I see a stamp just above the top of the 'G' in 'TGN' , under the large sharpie marking.

hehe..ya beat me to it ( I was playing w/contrast etc.)
looks sorta like " 04 " on the stamp?
I would think yes, the sharpie 04 is the year.

Looking at the original picture, I think it is "04" in ink stamp. Funny I couldn't see it earlier when I had it apart. I wish I hadn't put the guitar back together already.
