Hi all again!

I’d like to thank you very much that you helped me with making up my mind about piezo on my future guitar. That was so nice of you! :)

But another big problem has come to my mind – making a choice of a color! :)Unfortunately I have no opportunity for trying or even having a look at any of EBMM guitars because the local dealer is based in the other city. And moreover – they don’t have any Silhouette Specials in stock at the moment. So am choosing a color by looking through pictures and reading your messages here :)

I’ve looked through this forum a little bit but didn’t find photos of colors I want to choose from.

Would you be so kind as to post any pictures of Silo Special SSS of Black, White, Rolls burgundy, Carbon blue pearl or Candy red colors with rosewood fingerboard, white pickguard and black knobs and pickups.

Thank you very much in advance! (I can’t sleep anymore because of thinking about these colors :) :) )

Sorry I don't have any pictures - I'm sure someone like Foggy will help you out on that.

For me, I love Black or white guitars with a Natural headstock as opposed to matching.

Dude I think if you get a black pg you get black knobs and the same thing goes if you get a white pg you get white knobs. If you wanna change that you need to swap them out yourself.

Here's a Silo special that I just got last week.

Yea, I'm really lovin it myself. Alter, I did this mod myself. I ordered it originally just with a plain black guard, because I knew that I was going to want something like this already. Inspired by Vinnie Moore with the White Pearloid...but I wanted the black knobs and pickups. And I did also change the single coils to Fast Track 1s. I just need to play this baby through a proper amp. I really HATE my Line6 Spider2. I dont care what people say that it is good and you have to tweak the amp properly...I have a GREAT ear for good tone, and I have been tweaking this stupid amp for the past 5 years and have not gotten a PROPER sound out of it. I will be purchasing a Peavey JSX combo :D. Sorry about the rant.

Hey Glenn,
Was that Fuschia Sparkle a custom color that you ordered or was it offered as standard at one time or another? It's an awesome color!

Sorry for the slight hi-jack. :D

It's a one of a kind NAMM piece and a great guitar, my first EBMM.

No custom orders man, sorry. :)
