Silo Pickup Routing

[gerrogzmg]

Hi All,
Just wondering are Silo's pickup cavities universally routed or routed individually per pickup configuration. I have never taken the pickguard off and was wondering if I could make a 3S into a HSH without modification to the body.

Thanks

New ones are HSH but not sure about the older ones. I think the same.

Someone posted photos of a recent (2007) Silo about a month ago, and it had the universal route.

Silo Specials are routed HSS.

Here is the link to the thread from last month with the photos:

Silos have always had that universal route - back in the day you could get them in SSS, HSS, HSH, and HH, plus you could buy extra pickguards with the different combinations and swap them out since the pickguard attached to the jack with the molex connector.

EBay's blocked from here, but are you looking at a Silhoutte (24 frets) or a Silhouette Special (22 frets)? Silhouette Specials are routed HSS as they only come in SSS or HSS. The reason I ask is I'm not sure if black sparkle was available back when you could get Silos with multiple pickup configurations.
