Help to identify the year of this Warmoth body

[arealken]

It's supposed to be an older Warmoth body. Can anyone identify it by the Turtle Stamp? TIA;

that looks like the 1980's version but idk its hard to tell it looks closer to the 2010 version but the 1980's and 2010 version look almost the same whan stamped on to a body to me
i would say 1980s to 2009 body

Well, that narrows it down to sometime during 29 of the 37 years they've been in business. Any closer than that would be strictly a wild-assed guess  :laughing7:

It's an older one. The turlle's shell and the bottom of his foot are filled in, which is an older stamp. They are just outlined on the current stamps....current being from probably around 2000's onward. If I had to guess (and I do), I would say mid 80's to mid 90's.


A better question might be: what kind of bridge was on that thing? Those two screws holes on the outside, and the trace of some octagonal thingy. Hmmm....

them two holes might have bean made by this style cover  in the pic i attached
looks like someone used a vintage bass pickup cover over the trem


i'm 98% sure that's what was there as to what cover it was who know's i found some that have the same shape outline that is there but not exactly the same
it might have bean a Rickenbacker bass pickup cover I personally don't like the cheese grater feeling that Fender Bridges have so I would have done the same.
