hey Michael-
another beauty-
what are the silver dots inbetween the black knobs for(at 5o'clock from the top knobs)?? i have seen those on phil lesh's guild/alembic-and i guess i never asked.thanks for sharing the pic!

Googe - Those dots you are talking about are trim pots.  They are for the adjustment of the gain of the preamp for each pickup.  It is similar to the later series 1's that have this on the back of the instrument.
