Thanks, Ken. That apparently places date of manufacture of the pots in 1993. Looks like I somehow missed a number on the treble tone pot.
Dunno whats up with the bass tone pot. I'm pretty sure those were the only digits on it. Looks like I've got parts from different guitars, jack and pot wise ...

Oh, Randy, if this was the same guitar, (Purchased in Phoenix) it was never represented as a 72. They said the guy that traded it in was from Oregon or Washington and he'd told them it was an '83. This was what I thought I was buying. I discovered the serial number difference.

I suppose it's still a good deal at $750.

The number on the jack is definitely an LG, which is listed as Jul. 1972. I suppose it's possible someone may have changed the jack with the number.

Zymol Treatment? Sorry. Not familiar with the term, but if it needs it, I'll get it. Thanks!

I recently purchased a 330 made in 1972 according to the serial info. (LG) At the time I purchased it, I was told it was an '83 by a store manager at GC. He obviously didn't cross reference the number, but relied on the information given to him when it was traded in. I paid $750. They were asking ...
