Don't know about the Op20. Does it have 7 copper contacts on the underside or 8? The newer preamps, OpPro, VIP, Studio, and iDea all have 8. The Op30 has 7 and is not interchangeable with the others, or at least I am not brave enough to plug the mis-matched connectors in to find out!
What are you trying to accomplish? Swapping out the can in the guitar is quite simple, if you're thinking of buying something else to replace the OP20.
Oh yeah, pictures are always appreciated. The Koa guitars are quite pretty. |

Sorry, I'm straying off-topic.
Back to your regular program...... |
