Hey guys, I was just curious about something. I noticed that looking at the back of a 20th Silo w/piezo, that it doesn't have the piezo adjustment knobs on the back like my JP6 does. So is it possible to adjust the mix, bass, and treble like you can on the JP's? Are the pots inside the cavity? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Another question...the 20ths that have the Custom Made neck plate, are they the ones with the upgraded tops, or did all the 20ths come with that neck plate? I found a thread from a while back that Robelinda posted, but it seems like he never got an answer. Thanks again.

Phil,

The mix controls for the piezo are located in the electronics cavity - you can adjust them!

All 20ths had the "Custom Made" neck plates, the only way to tell if it was ordered as a flame or quilt is to look at the original build tag, or provide EB the serial number and they can tell you.

If you are looking at a hardtail piezo rosewood matching, the build code would be 551-80-21-00. A dealer specified quilt would be 551-SQ-21-00, and a specified flame would be 551-SF-21-00.

Thanks Pete. By the way, I called a couple days ago, I'm not sure if you got the message or not. I'll try calling you again. If I don't get ahold of you, if you could give me a call that'd be great. I shot you an email also. Thanks.
