My New Silo S-S-S

**Raz** · 01-05-2005, 10:40 PM

Ah man I think I have found a new love...I just got my new (well new for me) RARE

Purple Silo S-S-S in. I cleaned her up, dropped the action right down and put on some Slinky 10's...and man is this guitar heaven on earth or what, not only is she smooth and fast but the tone...she sounds like she's orgasming...those single coils are hot...I think I may have to hunt down more...I mean honestly this is my first single coil experience and I am literally FLOORED. I will post pics tomorrow...I am having way too much fun...dang its 1:00 AM and I got to work in the AM...oh well!

If so, that was a nice snag on your part. I thought that the purple was swwwwweeeeeeeeettttt.

I'm trying to remember a day when Raz DIDN'T buy a guitar

Love the Purple color Raz. Just like my Luke.

The best description I ever heard for a great single coil sound was in a review of a prs custom 24 in the split position that described it as "ice water dripping"

Enjoy it.

Yes, the very same one...I can't believe the condition...the only indicator of her almost 9 years of life would be the fretwear (and slight grooves in the wire here and there)...other than that she's perfect...but I must say that I am completely blown away from the sound of those pups. I figured I was a humbucker man, being really the only pups I was ever exposed to....but now I may have to change my ways. There's no muffling of notes and/or chords...its just so damn bright, and although I have only tried a few settings on my V-amp, my Metal Planet was set on full, death-by-hanging-distortion, and those pups were quite noiseless, yet very, very responsive...

Well if anyone is thinking of selling a Silo with the S-S-S configuration, give me a shout, please

Thanks Keith. Yeah that is a great description. I find the singles much more focused, laser like if you will, ripping or squeezing their way through the chords and out the amp.

Raz - I have lost track - mind you - don't check this board for a couple of hours and you could miss your next guitar purchase - just how many do you have now?

**GWDavis28** · 01-06-2005, 07:34 AM

Raz buddy you did see the big chunk taken out of the paint, right???

Do you mean Balls, or guitars in general?

WHAT? Are you serious...do you know something that I don't?

Think there's a case of mistaken identity here ... Raz bought his off ebay a short while back- not the one from this week with the chip on the horn.

Damn if I don't love those purple Silos.

Phew, scared me for a sec...yes mine was off Ebay...you mean someone sold a Silo without my knowing about it

was it an S-S-S model?

**GWDavis28** · 01-06-2005, 09:17 AM

Raz, do you have the link???

**beej** · 01-06-2005, 09:28 AM

Hah! Actually Raz- I think you pointed it out the other day. Was a purple HSS:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...772612051&rd=1

Went to 'leishan'.

Was *really* debating buying it! Then I bought jongitarz's Axis Super Sport instead

**GWDavis28** · 01-06-2005, 10:29 AM

Oh yah that's the one that I thought it was.

You bought JuanGuitarz Axis Super Sport, cool. So Juan, what company wares are you sporting these days then. What has replaced the Axis SS, maybe a Glacier Blue Sparkle with Piezo, I knew it.

I'm confused

There were two purple silos on ebay in recent memory ... you got the SSS one a while back and the other one just went. That one (HSS) you'd pointed out in an ealier thread:
