+1 Really works well, but takes some elbow grease. Worked pretty good on my 96 Silo

I just bought a used 96 Silo Special from an internet dealer and payed about 850 US. It was one of the first years from what I understand. Mine has 3 emg singles, came with a Wilkinson bridge and...

Changing back to 10s this week, just to see if the feel changes and to see if my tech was right about trem volitility. I imagine I will have to re-float and reintonate as well...which means I'll be...

Mystix-
I have the HSS version just like yours. I had the same problem. Check the allen screw adjustment on the tone knob. Mine was loose and the pot would get stuck over the edges of the retainer...

Mine is used to piss off my sound man when I feel my solo isn't cutting through the mix. Sometimes I have to look down to make sure its not engaged. I don't like it for cleans, but it adds nice spice...

I've got some Ultimate Compound! Will let you know! thanks!

Thats damn nice work! I started to use a dremel with a cloth burnishing wheel..now that I see this..I may give it a go!

Thanks Ben, my tech was kinda giving me a hard time about .09s today..he thinks the strings and bends would be truer as well as the trem not so volitale, not as much fret buzz, more stability. He...

I stick to Macguiars stuff..Scratch remover, some ultimate compound..light abrasives. didn't really do anything the sratch stuff did. I would adviuse against..unless you have nothing to lose and a...

Thanks everyone! I like the different approaches. I lowered the gap some and added a third spring..its a bit more stable now.

Thanks Doc- Having the floating thing is making me self concious about bending and sharpness..I'm amazed I haven't been breaking strings! I guess I'd like the trem to be stiffer like an old Floyd,...

Well..I don't think I'll go THAT far, but I certainly admire your tenacity! Still, I appreciate your play-by-play and your results good sir!

Since my migration to EBMM guitars, I have changed as a player. I had been using 10s for over 30 years..now I am using 9s and floating my trems. I like the versatility, but I find my bends take a...

I used the microfiber towel at first, but it was difficult to keep it focused on such small surfaces, I switched to an automobile wax sponge applicator and used the micro for the final wipes. I put...

I'm kicking myself for not doing pictures before and after. I will say that the scratches in Spud's pics are about the same on the back of my Silo. Like I said, it got the front pickswirl nicely, but...

Dern, I should have taken them. I had alot of pick swirl on the lower horn just below the pickguard. It lightened that up considerably to where you really have to look closely to see it now. The back...

I agree. Its just that this is a used axe and you can tell the paint job was great oriiginally..

I got a kit to buff out some scratches on my new (to me) 95 Silo. It definitely lessened the appearance of some swirl in some areas, but didn't do as well with superficial buckle rash? Kinda...

Nice! I have the Olive Gold in HSS..welcome to the club!

No one is talking about the finished roasted neck! Oy. Yeah, that axe is a monster fer sure..but that neck...Oy.

I saw some cool looking Hipshot locking tuners on e-bay..(just in case)..any body with any experience with thier products?

Cool, thanks for the info!

Thanks Dr and Skerwo- that trem is a looker! Kinda hard to see the remaining holes. Nice finish on that axe! That fretboard got some lovin' for sure! (the perloid looks good on that too! ;) Looks...

Thanks John and Spud- The emgs are awesome, had to adjust them abit as it was bass heavy, but they are dead quiet, powerful and sound fantastic through my Mesa Blue Angel. I am waiting on this...

As good as the pictures look, they really don't do the color justice. Its a light metallic purple or deep burgundy..I would almost call it plum..and I disagree, the aged pearliod sets it off! (hey,...
