Coming Home of a GEM..
As you guys know, I have been campaigning hard for an AL SSS with a rosewood fretboard since the announcement to launch the LE 08. My wish was not granted. I was disappointed. I was sad. I wanted a funk machine to look the way I want it to. I know it was not going to happen. But hey - i woke up one day, only to realise that it was not possible for EBMM to conflict its product lines. This is a business entity and it needs to do whats necessary to survive in the business world. Just because of some occasional demand from clients is not going to create new product lines (eg. Alberts with rosewood), its just not logical. So I begin searching for a SSS/SSH equipped guitar that can do the job, and scores in the looks department too... Enters the Silo Spec.
The Silo reminded me that any configuration is possible on a guitar. Choice of color, fretboard material, electronic configuration.. I knew what I wanted and I began searching for the ONE..
The candidates:
The Fierce and the Cool.....The Classic and the Stylish (Both discontinued..
)
I was not satisfied, I was confused. And then came the INSPIRATION:
Bruce's
jamie7v's
Headstock's
John C's
Mr ALs aka rob's
Glenn's
Yeah, Sparkles is the only way to go. Yup, chances are slim. No chance they say. But heaven smiles on me, and answered my prayers. The wait was a short one, and here she comes:
