So there?s 2 types of pots which each can have 2 formats: I will demonstrate this with pics borrowed from japanstrat?s great piece on Orville/ObG?s. Some pots have a digit of the previous year so I?m guessing the guitar was made early in the next year with pots of the previous year. To my surprise I found that the first digit of the bottom row of the pot corresponds with the year the guitar was made in, in 9 out of 10 times. The interesting part of these brands is that they used the same pots from 1981 to around 1992. We can date our MIJ Greco?s and Orville/ObG?s because they all have a serial number on the back of the headstock. I don?t have a 100% waterproof case yet but I wanted to share this info with you now in the hope we can get a constructive discussion going on. Over the past few months I have studied hundreds of pics in order to get an idea on how to date our beloved Burny LP.
