Sterling by MusicMan hits the street!

Indeed, I can't wait to see how the public responds to these! Total gateway application here. It's like Scion/Toyota.

Scion (who is manufactured by Toyota) produces vehicles in a lower price range with an appeal to the younger crowd so that they can familiarize themselves with the quality (despite the cheaper cost) and learn to grow comfortable and appreciate it. So down the road when they have the means to purchase a more upscale car, the first thing they'll think is, "I should get a Toyota, Scion did me well!"

I love this concept of SBMM, way to go BP I am a big fan of this.

(P.S. did Poppa really type, "Peace Out"."

Yeh we had a delivery here at Strings & Things and they're going out to UK stores as we speak. The big launch will be at LIMS in June.

Pete, do you know of any stores in the west coast of Scotland receiving the new models?

Thanks, fella

How are the necks finished? Gloss or oil and wax?

**PeteDuBaldo** · 05-05-2009, 09:36 AM

They have a very thin satin finish which feels very similar to the oil/wax. It isn't a "noticeable" finish, and I like that!

Hey Pete, are you gonna be at the Dubaldo store today? I'm in Cali and thinking about dropping you a line today. Around 3:00P.M. your time?

These guitars are really intriguing. My kids want to start playing (oh noes! less money for MY guitars!) and those Silo20 guitars are right in the price range...

**Sweat** · 05-05-2009, 02:31 PM

Alright mine is on the way, thanks Pete, will be here Friday, looking forward to trying it out.

Nice! Which one did you get?

**Sweat** · 05-05-2009, 02:54 PM

Bought a Silo20, right price and I played a MM Silo at the dallas Guitar Festival a few weeks back, had been awhile since I tried one and relly liked it, this allows me to get something similar at a price I can handle right now and plan ahead for my next EBMM
