My first Music Man :-)

Silhouette Special
Ser. #G28325

Any info appreciated. I'm particularly interested in the year it was made and knowing if there are any structural or electronic differences between this one and a 2009 model. Thanks!

Phydoh, welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your first Music Man! Your Silhouette Special was built on 5/10/05 and was shipped to Spencer's Music Room in Olathe, KS. There aren't any differences between your guitar and the ones we're doing now.

I purchased a new JP6 in Pearl White with piezo, and matching headstock from Musician's Friend on 10/05/09. It arrived today, and is absolutely stunning. I do not miss the Custom JP Shields on this piece as the rosewood has a reddish hue to it. Very classy looking and maybe my new favorite color. The build label states: 09/21/09. The new pickups sound amazing. A bit warmer and full. All the best! Thanks!

Thanks Dan! But are you sure about the Silo? It's not a honeyburst, it's a natty...

**5Stringer** · 10-09-2009, 03:40 PM

About as sure as I can be ... for two reasons. One, that's what the information in the computer database is telling me - and two, we have never offered the Silhouette in a natural finish - have you had it since new? I am thinking a serious fade or a refinish here ...

Very interesting, thanks for the information. You must be right... it must be a refinish... This is just plain wood! But I'm really digging it. I'll post pictures soon. Thanks again!

I'm betting this one went to that particular store for the 25th Anniversary tour, but I could be wrong. It says some things I've never seen on an EBMM box. It says "PO #418592-06 Attn: Vince Mattigs!" I think that particular Vince is one of the managers there. Vince apparently wants that store to be the biggest EBMM seller amongst the Michigan GCs.

Unfortunately, I didn't make that event, but I'm happy Detroit got one of those events. It would certainly be cool if Luke, Morse, or BP played it, but I doubt it.
