Hi mdvineng - thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like a very reasonable guess to me.

Hi 3rdstone, Thanks for your reply - hopefully someone will be able to let me know what the Y stands for . In terms of pics, it will be a few weeks before I can do this - the guitar is at my techs having a few things done to it, and I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks so will have to wait...

Hi All, Fist time poster so please be gentle.. I have just purchased what I believe in part to be a 1980 Springy Sound. I say 'in part' as I'm not sure that the neck is original. I have added the pics to an album in iCloud which hopefully you can access below...
