Found an interesting sticker inside my EBMM Silo!

[Roubster]

So while I was replacing the potentimeters on my Silhouette yesturday, I noticed that there was a sticker on the tone pot. By the way my Silo is brand new only couple of months old. So it had a date on it of 8-22-05 and also said 12LB! So does this sticker say the B-day of the guitar, and I'm assuming that 12LB is the total weight of the Silo! Am I correct, and does every new EBMM have this sticker? If so, the people that want to know the B-day of their geetar, they can just check the pot for the sticker info, unless the pots were changed at some point along the way like on mine, but I am NEVER selling it, so does not concern me!!!!!!!

If your Silhouette is that heavy, it's double the average weight of the typical Silo. I think it means something else-Jon?

... also said 12LB!

It's a 12-string lefty in black.

The date is probably the date the potentiometer was made, and the 12LB could be a lot number or something.

That's my guesstimation.

 

[Luiz Gustavo]

I think that's just a code.

 

[Roubster]

Maybe the potentiometer weighs 12LBs on Venus or something ! So anybody from EB on this matter? Beth? Jon? BP? Anybody?
Well the date WAS very close to when I recieved the Silo.

Its probably just the batch of the Pots I would have thought.

I think your tone pot is just so special it not only goes to 11 but all the way to 12

 

[Roubster]

hahahaha, good one mbgreene! Well it's not so special any more since I ripped it out of the geetar. It's sitting on my desk all helpless and useless. But speak of the pot going to 12, that's what the Silo sounds like now when I put in the 500Ks .

I think you'll find that it's the combination to the safe at EB that holds all of the prototypes.

[Roubster]

LOL
Too much that could be said about that statement!

 

[jongitarz]

The date is when the pickup assembly was built, not when the guitar was built. I think the 12LB that you are seeing is in reality RLB, the guy who put the assembly together.

 

[Roubster]

AAAHHHHAAAAAA!!!! Thanks for clearing that up Jon ! But it looks like 12LB to my eyes, and I am not blind or nearing there (I hope!). But whatever, it's nothing much of significance anyway. Cheers!

So does that mean that the LB stands for Large B**bs???

Wow, Colin's wife has 12 Large B**bs
