A little fun with the CFB-Black Guitars

[Sweat]

OK, lets have a little fun First off the CFB did it, quit smoking and the new job is working out well!

Second been thinking about a black guitar for quite awhile now, as foggy would say none more black that the EBMM black. Not sure I will buy one but hey it is the CFB

Also been listening to alot of David Gilmour and Eric Clapton, lots of black there

So give me your opinions on what you would get, first this is to try and use as a DG-EC clone tone guitar and a travel guitar, not looking to spend alot, basically what I can get from MF or GC using discounts and 0% financing, so let me know what you think. Vote in the poll and/or post other ideas

Let the fun begin

Keith, if you're going for EC and DG tones, definitely a Silo Special, SSS, either a white pearl or black pearl guard.

Black Reflex.....Hopefully it's coming soon with the

aged finished yellow neck colour....sweet

 

[browndog]

The Silo is the least expensive but a Black SM is what you need!

Ya gotta make room so the Reflex has to go... PM me.

well, Im looking at a black Silo Spec with white pickguard and buying a black guard to swap out... giving it the David Gilmour look... why pay for the "official replica" when I can have a Ball that plays and sounds better for a lot less?

Go with a black Silo Special, get a SSS guard and put a set of Gilmour EMG pickups on that bad boy! Don't forget about the Black MH!

With the players you mentioned you are looking for a single coil sound with some oomph. I would go with a Silo Special with the silent circuit since 60 cycle hum has never been a friend of mine.lol Both players use a Mid Boost or and a TBX to fatten up there tone to get that creamy sound. If you go strictly with an S-S-S configuration it would be easier to color up your tonal palate with some pedals. I own a Clapton Digitech Crossroads pedal and have always liked it, as it can get you very close to a lot of EC tones pretty much on the dime. Though they do not make them anymore you can grab one on ebay for $100 or less.

Now Keith I am assuming that this is just for some indoor fun or recording and this guitar and pedal should get you close enough for that.For a little more DG tone if you have a delay pedal like a DD2 or 3 you should keep yourself busy for a long time. Have fun.

Keith,

The archives really need an all black Albert Lee!
That means it would be somewhat original.

There's lots of black in the other guitars.
