Since I’ve leaned how to date these pots it seems that quite often the pot date is a month or two before the production code of the body and neck. Seems to fit pretty well and makes perfect sense since the pots are not made in house.
But occasionally there are guitars that are out of sequence and I can only guess as to why.
Here’s one with a pot date of August 1983 and production code on the neck of September. Body was repainted so I can’t see if it matches but assume that it does.
