Hi Guys - picked up one in a trade deal - needs some tlc - fret dress / work on trem unit but otherwise its very nice instrument ...

I know nothing about this guitar though - pickups ? body ( assuming alder ) - were they routed as standard for SSH ...

Would also love your insight into your experiences on this model etc

cheers in advance

Ooh nice! Photos please!

Silhouette Special, yes? The Special is routed HSS. Alder body and apart from the colour and MIAC logo they are normal Silhouette Specials. nice guitars, plenty of mentions over the years on the forum...

Silhouette Special is my no. 1. Love it to bits. Classy versatile, awesome instrument.

The pickups are DiMarzio. Single coils are close to the current True Velvet lineup. Gives you all kinds of Stratty goodness in a comfy, ergonomic package.

The MIAC guitars are SSS, not HSS.

They're pretty sweet looking. I came close to buying one, myself.

Love my silo spec as well. Very versatile guitar does many things well.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!

Looks like you got a fabulous piece of maple on that neck too!

That is a fantastic neck! A tort pickguard would look amazing on that silo...

awwwww yeah, +1

That neck looks pretty sick, by the way!

Oooh...this one's right up my alley. Fantastic looking guitar, very classy.
Those Silo Specials are amazing and versatile instruments, huge congrats on the purchase!

While I'm usually a big fan of tort pickguards I would leave it as it is...it looks just right!
