That is just awesome.

Thanks for the explanation

I may be wrong but look the same as a regular ASS

I will try and do a 20th Silo/25th EBMM comparison later on this weekend. Right now the Silo is set up for C-standard with ultra mega not even slinky strings, so it won't be a fair comparison until they are both strung with Regular Slinky strings.

As far as the neck heel goes, you get even easier access to the upper frets! Personally that is a big comfort factor to me, as I tend to do a bit of twiddling up around 15-21.

Here are a couple more shots...

Yes, it's similar, but instead of the slanted contour down towards the neck from the neck plate, it's straight/flat down on the 25th. Probably more like on the JP:

I can see that it gives you higher fret access, though, as the std./20th neck heel has a tendency to settle your hand in a comfortable spot, instead of necessarily allowing you to reach further up.

Really looking forward to the comparison, Pete!

The neck heel is like the JP.

It is very easy to play the upper frets. We addressed access and made tons of tiny changes that collectively mak a big difference. THis is a completely different guitar with its own personality. THis wasnt a cosmetic repackage but a ground up design

yeah, the new pics are great - love the dark background

**brasco68** · 04-10-2009, 02:43 PM

I think these last set of pics really bring out the richness of the top.

**Sweat** · 04-10-2009, 02:55 PM

Have to agree that last pic is awesome and like BP said this is going to be an entirely different beast, love the color and top on that one, I think this is my dream guitar
