19 yrs old today. Happy Birthday Silo

[marantz1300]

19 today.It's just beginning to wear in.The paint feels rubbery,its showing a few nicks and scratches and is getting a bald patch on the forearm contour.Theres a little bit of rust on some of the scratch plate screws,but the chrome on the machine heads and trem is bomb proof.Good old West German quality.Theres a little bit of finger wear on the fret board,the frets are fine.Maybe its had a re fret before I acquired it. Its a great guitar to play.So comfortable.

Cheers D.K. I just checked your posts.That trans red silo looks great. I'll have to take the necks off my silos to check the date stamps.You should do an album ,so we can see your others.

Thanks, marantz, I've been thinking about doing an album for quite some time now - but I'm stuck between working, playing guitar, rehearsing, recording... So, one day I'll surely post the pics of all my silos and the morse.

BTW, the morse can be seen here - with Morse, actually

wow!
this one looks awesome. A bit more wear and it looks like Steve Morse´s famous #1. Especially the forearm contour. No joke: I love this look!
