PIC REQUEST: Silo Special LE08 w/ rosewood fretboard

[menvafaan]

...Or maybe I should first ask if it's even available with rosewood?

 

[menvafaan]

Ok, just spent a minute in Photoshop making a rosewood mockup... Enjoy!

 

[menvafaan]

Oh, trying to insert the pics right away instead...

Give it a natty headstock and I'm sold!

I'd look for some after market knobs though. The white on those just doesn't look right to me on this guitar.

This finish was made for that guitar. I bet a Morse would be just as killer too. An AL would own all with a Rosewood board, that would probably be my dream AL,....besides a Dargie.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Did someone mention an AL with a rosewood board??

Spud, I think I've mentioned I'd like an Al with RW board a few times in the past on here... It would be a great guitar....

 

[Spudmurphy]

The r/w is nice but I'm liking the maple

... ooops, railroading the thread sorry!

I gotta agrre with Foggy on this - I'd love to see a natty h/s.

- nice p/shop skills btw!!

AL with rosewood board rules

Plus 1, foggy.

A natty stock will bring some necessary contrast there. Rosewood with matching stock is simply too dark. Making the whole guitar, with a dark color body, too...dull.

Both the pics above of the LE08 are great. I can't choose which I would like best. But if I were to select the rosewood board, it would be have to have a matching headstock. A natty headstock with a rosewood board would seem out of place to me.

 

[morsecode]

I would agree with that in general. However, both my Y2D and Rad Red, which I think are quite funy colors, have natty headstocks and they look great with the rosewood board. But I just couldn't see that on a LE08.

 

[kissmyaxe]

natty headstock on Rad Red and RW is the only way to go, same with Blue Pearl.

 

[Ripper]

But on the more funkier colours the matching head looks good.

Right! Like the Dargies & Blue Dawns.

 

[guitarman23]

i really love the rosewood on that Special a lot!!

 

[whitestrat]

It is available with rosewood board, no-one has seen one yet! Give it some more time, whitestrat will have his soon!

I'm still waiting... My local dealer says he has no idea when it's coming...

 

[Astrofreq]

DUDE, is that your house? Is not envying still a commandment?

[RocketRalf]

Nooooo it needs a tremolo and matching headstock!

j/k robelinda, very nice choice! hardtail HSH just like mine! I just think the LE2008 color benefits from all the candy it can have.

Also, try some gold metal knobs, or the classic strat ones with gold letters. The white letters just doesn't seem to fit although it's a very minor detail.

 

[fogman]

It's gorgeous!!!!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw it!

Nooooo it needs a tremolo and matching headstock!

no it's perfect!
well maybe the knobs need changing???
