Late 82 Spag logo ST50

[ATO]

An interesting ST50 L04352 from Nov 82 with very late Spag logo, assuming it's not had a replacement decal. If sold new in the UK this would have had a block logo at the time. Has pots dated June 82 (unless they are 92, but they look factory). I have a Nov stamped 1982 block logo guitar serial L05689.

Edit: seller has since told me they bought in Japan, hence Spag logo!

Unusual to see those pots in a Springy if they are from 1982 and not 1992.

I thought that but it's a very neat job if they've been swapped out.

Unusual body stamp without =, hyphen or anything?

Voidoid56 and I have both spotted the rare spag logo guitars with this type of pots but they are uncommon.

Solder looks pretty good. They kept the ceramic cap if they did re-wire it.

Funnily enough my Nov 82 doesn't have an = either!

And here's another, same month/year
