Serial Numbers : What is the production date of my guitar?

[timmy5strings]

Dan I went to the darkside and got this Silo Spec G38417. It looks like a Carbon Blue but not sure. Can you tell me the color and build date ? It plays really nice like ! I can't wait to get home and plug her in.

Tim, the only thing dark about this is the color! This Carbon Blue Pearl jewel was completed on 1/16/08. Nice axe I bet! Congrats!

Hey Dan,

Managed to pickup a used 20th Silo and appreciate any info on the latest addition to my EB family of guitars.

Ser No:G27276

Also any CS advice on the maintaining/restoring the nickel plating on the PUP covers (as the covers are slightly tarnished).

Cheers
WeeGee

WeeGee, Your Silhouette 20th was completed on 6/30/06 and was shipped the GC Distribution Center.

I am looking into your question about the pickups. When I get a definitive answer I will let you know.

Thanks,

Dan

serials and DOB

Hi guys, very new to this forum and I'm not sure how all of this works. Just wanted to list a couple of serials and possibly get some DOB's if it's not too much trouble:

1. Trans amber quilt Axis G41876

2. Trans amber (I'm guessing) Axis G14237

The quilt one is my friend's (brand new) and the other is mine, which i recently bought used. I'll post pics when I figure out how!!

Thanks!
