Hi there, can anyone shed any light on the 'extra' routing on my Nat Strat??

there's an extra route in the neck pocket (round and the same size as the microtilt hole), and a similar round route under the scratch guard, say between the neck and middle and in line with the volume control?

those are Index holes from the CNC routing process, this came up a while back and there seem to be multiple cnc machined running during the same production line/years. some use these holes and some do not. I have since seen body's of identical model and year, one had the holes and the other did not.

Not sure on that, I think most of those stamps are from the inspection process though.
and most I have seen are first letter then last name. like on my hot rod it is stamped
L. Murrillo on the underside of the heel but i am not sure if that's who made it, there are also several initials there and in the neck pocket.
