Thanks guys! It's really a very special instrument and I love everything about it...took a leap of faith buying this without ever having played one, but based on what I heard about the 20ths it felt like the only right thing to do.
Turns out it was!

Wow your signature is pretty impressive :D

So how to you compare the 20th to the others ? especially the AL M90 rosewood, the ASS rosewood neck and the 25TH

Nice score!!!! The 20th is really my favourite, even though I love the Silo Special, every time I play the 20th I cant stop...sometimes I just play an open G and let it ring forever. Tone MONSTER. Now take a family shot for priests sake!!! hehe :D Take some daylight pics of the 20th...the color in your pics looks NOTHING like the true amazingness of the Caramel Burst. None the less, congrats on one of the best guitars EVER!

So, I have to ask....where does the 20th stand your EBMM lineup?

Tey're all equal to me, though my main "go-to" guitar (at least before the 20th) is still the BFR AL. But I love all of them and they get pretty much equal attention!

It matches your RW AL too!

Yes, it does!

So how to you compare the 20th to the others ? especially the AL M90 rosewood, the ASS rosewood neck and the 25TH

Well, that's kind of a tough question to answer...the rosewood necked AL feels a little warmer and softer, but you can't really compare the sound the MM90s give to the humbuckers in the 20th Silo or 25th Anniversary...as far as they are concerned they sound more alike, though the 25th has a little warmer sound and (probably due to more space between bridge and neck PU in comparison to the 20th and the series-parallel switching) a little more variety. On the other hand, the Piezo on the 20th gives really incredible acoustic-like sounds. The rosewood necked Luke is a different animal altogether...See, it's really hard to compare these instruments, they're all absolutely fabulous, but they're all different...

I promise I will! The weather totally sucks at the moment, so I guess I'll just have to wait...! I took about two dozens of pictures of the 20th and none was able to show the Caramel Burst, they all came out kinda reddish...

Thanks Coffee.... The thing is that I have raved about a few over the years and Im sure that some sit back and say...." Yeah, right....blah blah of course he is going to say that...he wants to sell them"

The fact is that Im a fan. The difference is that I get to participate in the creation of these and if there is something I dont like it doesnt get released.

In the case of the 20th it was paradigm shifting for us a breakthrough....
