I do like the SiloSpec alot. I played one at GC and it definitely took the 2nd favorite slot for MM guitars for me.

sub1's modified to silhouette special config also rock quite heavily...

From just about a year ago, with my MIAC Silo Special....

Yep, Silo Specials do rock!

hey John...is that officially buttercream or white? I think mine is the same color and I've been calling it white. I just thought it had "matured" some. hmmmmm.

Imagine: BFR Silo Special
Flame/Quilt Tobacco Burst with white pearloid PG...HSS with trem and birdseye maple neck and fretboard.

Imagine the same guitar, but swimming pool routed to fit ANY config, with 4 different pickguard configs that come with the guitar. HH, HSH, SSH and SSS. Oh wow...!

I had a couple of hss strats and the bridge pickup of those guitars was never to my liking, so I was a bit concerned that I would have the same feeling when I bought my hss Silo Special. I love the bridge position bucker (I put a Timmons in there, but the stock virtual paf was good too), and having a single in the neck makes the Silo Special just uber versatile.

I like the virtual PAF. I think it's got a nice tone to it. I just can't stand the stock single coils... They're a bit bright and I find them lifeless.

I've always thought the official colour name for that was "vintage white" - not quite buttercream, and definitely not pure white. Just looks great no matter what it is called!

Actually, that's almost the same colour my 9 year old Silo Spec has aged into.

Silo Spec absolutely rules love mine just as much as my BFR Luke!!

yeah, i followed your lead and put a cruiser in the neck, but left the stock middle......i'm liking the combo so far. cruiser n, stock single m, AT-1 b ....... I'm happy

"vintage white" ...... I like it!

Exactly! Mine's a 2001 and looks like an aged white. I don't know what it looked like new.

Totally off topic, but your signature is awesome. Carry on.

The silo spec is my one and only guitar. Best guitar I ever had and for me no need to get any other. Love it for everything.

Every day, every day. It´s my terrace in the 1st floor and the sun is going down behind this scenery (when it´s shining here in Germany , this summer unfortunately not to often).

Silo specials do indeed rock. I love mine. I'll have to post some new pics when I'm done trying out different pickups in it! I've currently got an HH setup with a push-pull splitter in there and jumbo stainless steel frets.

Thanks, it's obviously a nod to a song near the end of Abbey Road.

Silo Specials are the best.

Neither do I. Wish I could have the options of changing pickguards though... Someone ehre had a mint green pickguard on a white Silo Spec and it ruled! Thing is, I sent emails to picguard heaven, and they didn't even reply...
