Help! was sold 2010 instead of 2012 ASAT Accept box?

Craig said that my ASAT has to have been made before April 2010, since that is when the move to tolex cases happened. Mine will arrive today with a molded case. That's long tome to be just sitting in a warehouse, but it is an ASAT special hollow body with a tinted maple neck at a decent price.

Cig, I would first look at the guitar and if it looks perfect and plays well you are a winner. I prefer some things about the 2010 and pre models. It will most likely have the waterslide serial number which I prefer (I have both) and not the microwave plate. The only other difference would be the case. I have mixed feelings about that also as some of the new cases fit almost too tight. I do not store the guitars in the cases and they would probably fit looser if I did. If it is a sweet guitar you are the winner. Only my opinion.-- Darwin

+1. I wouldn't get hung up over the year, as long as it's in the condition advertised.
