Quick question, I was just looking at that Japanese website that has the great comparison pics of 4 JMs, 1959, 1961, 1961, and 1962. Halfway down the second page, there are closeups of the main circuits vol/tone pots and cap. It looks like the 1962 model is pictured with a 250k tone pot, and maybe a 250k vol pot as well? The cap and wiring look original, but I don't know the date codes for these. They didn't ever do this, did they? I was under the impression that all the pics on this page were from the same 4 all original guitars. Maybe not though, as I can't read Japanese.

The pic in question, which I think is supposed to be from a 1962 JM:
