Silo Lovers - What Colors Do You Long For?

[Dizzy]

I'd like to see an air-brush type design giving an electric silhouette effect around the edge.

Probably look bloody awful, but I'd like to see it.

Trans white

Good call Rob!

Never considered trans white as an option?
I'm still waiting for Purple or Green to come back around

 

[paranoid70]

Trans Red or Trans Blue. They look awesome on the other guitars and basses. Too bad they aren't options on the Silos.

pearl green. seen a few on the bay in the last year.

I would like to see sparkle purple or green! or perhaps pearl purple or green.

 

[brasco68]

Teal Pearl, or Lava Pearl with no pickguard might be interesting.

 

[mb99zz]

I'd love to see a no pick guard option too.

I'd love to see a no pick guard option too.

Um isn't that a 20th??

I would also really love to see more trans finishes. I had a a Silo in vintage sunburst and I have not seen a finer vintage sunburst than that.
My personal trans color choices would be Pacific Blue Burst and Black Cherry Burst.

However this would be a really awesome configuration I think:

Silo Special HSS, Flame Walnut Burst top, White Pearl PG, Heavy Birdseye Maple Neck, and Black pickups and knobs.

My thought on the No PG option is that a Silo Special would look very similar to a LUKE without one. I personally think that the EBMM pickguards make the guitars very unique in their shape. I actually used to hate pickguards, but I think they are PERFECT on the Silos and Silo Spcls. My 2 cents.

Would love to see the new BFR colors on a Silo Special, Tobacco Burst, Amethst, and th green baby.

 

[GWDavis28]

I'm always good for a sparkle finish, but I'd love to see something new, like Purple Dawn (It's been talked about in the past).

Purple dawn...that sounds pretty cool.

wise indeed!

And forget the flame tops.....waste of money in any case (oooh controversial) & you can't see them anyway with the pickguard

Yes you can, if you go the Y2D route of a transparent pickguard... Nice!!!

 

[roburado]

The colors I'm most interested in are discontinued. I'd like Black Sparkle and Las Vegas Gold. I'd like to have a piezo-equipped twin to my non-piezo LV Gold Silo Spec. I'd surely take Black Sparkle too. I'd also be pretty excited by some other sparkles like silver, white, and gold. I'd love some of the transparent colors like Black Cherry Burst, Pacific Blue Burst. I'd love Gunsmoke or that new silver on John Myung's Bongo 6s.

I think LE07 Blue Dawn look extremely soulful & mysterious for a 24-fretted Silo, and I have this last chance of landing one on my hand. Since I already got a Y2D (HSH too), it would be 1-in-1-out. What do you guys think?

 

[Axilla]

Not a bad idea....I rarely need the higher frtes for anything!!

But stop it with the flame maple stuff....it's for wusses.....real men play PLAIN guitars!!

He he he, I'll go check out what this might look like

Ok ok, umm, only 1 of my 6 Balls has a figured top. Hope this preserves my manhood ?!

Haha. Just a thought that ran pass my greedy mind. Enuff balls for me now.

Back to the topics - Any sparkles will be good on a Silo!!! (Beating a very dead horse here..)
