Hi mates, i recently buy an ASAT DELUXE made in 1998.
Beautifull guitar, i love it.
But i have a doubt.
When i look in the neck pocket and the back of the neck i see the date, the model, but also a "47" and "2012".
Someone has any idea of what are this numbers??
Here the pics:

Re: Help identifying neck pocket stamps
Hi there,
Here your pictures in the thread:
Likely this guitar went back to the factory for some neckwork or, given that the pocket has the same annotations, a neck reset. There is clearly no date stamp in the neck pocket (anymore) and you see a region of lighter color on the neck heel likely because some material was taken off. Apparently, whatever the problem was, it couldn't be solved with shims.
