That does look like black sparkle. I did a search of U.S. stores for graphite pearl Silhouettes and Silhouette Specials and came up empty handed. It might be time for one of you to place a special order and fill the Graphite Pearl vacuum...

That can't be a Black Sparkle because it's got a compensated nut on it. Looks like Graphite Pearl to me. Crappy pictures though, it doesn't show off the color well at all.

Thats most probably Saphire Black. NorM has a Graph Pearl Silo with trem and piezo, maple board, and moonstone pickguard. I actually remember that one very well...It's beautiful. Foggy must have some more pics.

Foggy is away on vacation. I remember Norms too.

OK, I'm back!
Personally I think graphite pearl, rosewood and moonstone are awesome! I've seen it and love it. Abalone is really nice too. Or maybe the new blue pearl guard?

Anyways, here's some eye candy!

Thanks G for posting the GraPHearL SiLO pics. That guitar became my main performance guitar once I figured out that I really needed to not risk the Blue Dawn that's just like it. (Piezo and EMGs and all)

I wish I could find the black metal knobs with moonstone tops. That would be the perfect finishing touch.

Now THAT is what I'm talking about!!!!

Damn... I'm not stuck between ordering a Silo or Silo Spec in Graphite Pearl I do want something along the lines of a John Mayer Frosted Charcoal look, but possibly with a twist. I think it'll have to be a real Silo this time. Not a Special, not a 20th. But a real sweet Silhouette...:cool:

That actually looks more like Sapphire Black to me.

Real Silhouettes are awesome!!! It's the Swiss Army Knife of guitars.
