Hi All,

I have a nice 2004, EBMM Silhouette Special, hardtail, in Candy Apple Red. In very good shape and plays really well. Neck pickup had a short so I replaced it with an SD Lil '59, which I...

Finally got around to correctly wiring the SD into the Silo. (Was out of town most of the summer.) That did the trick, though I'm not sold on the SD yet--probably needs more tinkering. But thanks...

Go Sox! The sports passion of my life, passed on from my father, and I passed it on to my son, who is now 22. I miss going to games at Fenway with my dad. My son doesn't understand what it was like...

I have a Silo HSH and Silo Special SSS, both hardtail with rosewood boards. Love the Silo and like the Special. The Silo plays a bit differently because of the 2 extra frets but I like how the...

Ah, that makes sense. So I can just solder the green wire to the back of a pot? That also explains why multiple black wires from the original pups were soldered to the same leg of the switch--silent...

Yup, that's what I did. Position 2 sounds bad but will play with it a bit.

Thanks for your reply. Figured as much but thought it worth asking. Light weight is important and I do like SRs, so a Special is the way to go.

Hi All,

Anyone know if it’s possible to install the new, lightweight hardware that comes with the SR Special on older Stingrays? Seems like doing so would reduce weight. Saw a clip on YouTube...

Thanks, DrKev. Black on the SD is north start whereas on the Dimarzio it’s north finish. Now I removed the stock, single-coil Dimarzio and soldered the black wire from the SD to where the black wire...

Well, I installed the lil 59. Had to guess at the wiring—I assumed the black wire from the SD should go where the black wire from the original pup was. The red and white wires on the SD are to be...

I'd put a full-size HB in there if it were routed for it but I ain't gonna cut it up. I know the lil 59 won't sound like a full size HB but I expect it to be a bit fuller than the stock pup. Almost...

Well, I bought an SD lil '59 (neck) on Reverb for the Silo. I'll swap that in and will report back.

Hey Tbone,

It appears they are. I’ll give Dimarzio a shout to see if they’ll repair it. I like the way it sounds and would prefer to keep it.

Thanks, DrKev. I'll start with EBMM, tho I suppose this is an opportunity to sub in an SD JB mini-humbucker, just for fun...

Hi All,

The neck pickup in my Silo Special has a short where the wire joins the pup. If I push or pull the wire a bit the pup works but eventually the wire will settle and the pup goes silent...

Hi All,

I have two pickguards for an AL HH (USA). One is black, the other white. $25 each or $40 for both, shipped and paypalled in the continental US.

I need to do that with the humbuckers in my SM. The neck pup needs more definition and maybe lowering it will help. The single-coils are fine.

Funny story. I flipped the bridge pup on/off switch as suggested by beej, only to find out that a previous owner had already done that. Couldn't figure out why the neck pup had so much midrange when...

The SM would also seem a candidate for something like Anderson's switcheroo system. I had one and it worked fine, tho for some reason I didn't like the guitar all that much and sold it.

I've had my Morse for about two weeks and really like it, tho it took a bit to get it dialed in. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the switch for the bridge HB was up for off, whereas the...

For the most part I agree that a Tele is a Tele and never the twain shall meet. Whatever that means...

The Val and SM are close enough where I'd happily use them to cover my Tele needs. Here's my...

We are in Tucson, which ain't a bad place to be quarantined. Weather has been outstanding but we are looking at 90+ degrees later in the week. Spring is over!

Both wife and I are working from...

Thanks, guys. Good to know that mine is on the lighter side, or at least average. I really like the way it plays and sounds, and I suspect I can get used to the weight.

Banjoplayer, I have a...

No, not Steve’s weight...

Just bought a 2013 Morse standard and really like the guitar. I figured with the slab body and the amount of hardware that it couldn’t be as light as my Val, Silo HSH,...
