Documenting these since the Registry says they don't exist.
First script logo I have logged so far seems to have been made in December 1982...
SN 11552
Newbie :) Confirmation of my Goldie - 84 TST-50?
Pickups changed to V and VII in model year 1984 (appearing in at least one example made in November 1983).
VS-1 first in use in ST100 & 120 in 1982, and in 1983 shift to TST80 and 100.
First examples of script logo Goldstars are 3 piece decals with the slogan "Made In Japan By Rock And Roll Fanatics".
3 Piece Script Logo Goldstar Decals 1982/83
Note that block logo and script logo decal Goldstars overlap. Different markets. Block logos first appear as Springys as an apparent remedy to the lawsuit in the UK in the spring/summer of 1982. So far, have not seen a script logo Springy....
