Is the body contour of the 20th different compared to Standard silo?
I am only asking because the horns(don't know if it's the proper word) look to be flat on the 20th. A regular SIlo looks to have more of contour or rounded horn...when looking at the front of the guitar.
Is is because 20th comes with maple top?

Also,
If I were to coil tap the humbucker, Would I be loosing somthing by gaining the versatility? In particular, tone of humbucker before it was coil tapped.

thanks-
 
I would think the horns are flat because of the quilt top. Contours are alright but i don't think they could bend a veneer that extreme to fit the standard sihl. horn.

The body is radiused, but the horns are not carved like the regular Silhouette. I haven't heard any tonal need to coil tap the humbuckers yet.
