Plate Stamped Springy SN 8000673

[Sigmania]

Very very unusual.... This serial number range should be ink stamped. Have to wonder if this neck plate was meant for a PB which had a separate numbering system???

SN 8000673

I can't see the fretboard stamp, so not sure of the model.

ST55/65/85?

For reference. I am not sure if the plates are the same size however?

Hey bluejeannot. Yep, looks like the transition was around 3000 units?
