Not sure if 1978 was different to later ones but when this arrived I thought she had a non original neck plate ( no serial and narrow ) and would have been re drilled because it is smaller than the norm but it has not and looks to be the original. all holes line up and fits fine but up against my 1982 st 80 you can see the difference.
Maybe a very early one before serials stamped on the plate. No 80 stamp on fret board either but in a certain light a swear I see a faint numbering but maybe not.
Heres a bunch of pics.
