Can anyone find a date on this neck heel?

[Case24]

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?

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

You may be right Elwood. I blew up the picture but it isn't very legible.



Does the 04 in marker mean 2004?

[Elwood]

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.
