Question 1993 Silhouette Pickups

[mattpost95]

What pickups are in a '93 silo, its a HSH, and its the kind that has a floyd if that matters...
I already know they are dimarzios, i just want to know which ones

 

[klaveguitars]

Pickups should be Dimarzio Paf Pro (humbuckers) and dimarzio custom single coil.

I love Silos with Floyds. Care to post a picture?

Mine is a 2006 HSH Silo and it has the DiMarzio Virtual PAF HB and a custom singlecoil inside. But don´t know if the virtual paf were already built in 1993.

No, the virtual PAF came later. PAF Pros have allen screw pole pieces which makes it easy to distinguish (black pole pieces, right?). But were they using DiMarzios back in '93 would be my question. I think so but I'm not sure.

thanks, theyre paf pros, I just got off the phone with guitar center, and they argued with me that ernie ball only use emgs on their guitars... lol, and klaveguitars, i tried posting a pic but file was to big, its dark teal, black pickguard, and maple neck

 

[skerwo]

Try to reduce the file. The rule is: no pic, no guitar

 

[mattpost95]

heres a pic of it

Nice guitar, Silos are fantastic although I´m not a big fan of FR-tremolos. You told it´s a 1993 Silo. Has it already the oil/wax finish on the backside of the neck?

 

[mattpost95]

yea, it has the wax finish, and i agree with you on FR's, I just wanted to play Steve Vai stuff, and my Axis Super Sport's trem cant handle that kind of music
