Well, I have been playing my 20th Silo since I came home from work. No pictures yet, as I like to play the guitar more than look at it...but I look at it a lot while I'm playing :). Pete took some cool ones, but I shall take some of my own with my other Silo. It's just an amazing pair, but the 20th really IS an ultimate geetar. The sound is phenomenal even through a Line6. Exactly what I have been waiting for! Pick ups are PERFECT! Neck is PERFECT! Finish is PERFECT! Wood grain is PERFECT! Set-up is PERFECT! Everything about this guitar is perfect, except I will put 10s on it at some point and change the vintage saddles to the solid block ones to give it some more balls :)D), and also it's more comfortable for my right hand palm.
I would like to thank BP for being an amazing boss and coming up w/ this geetar and everyone else that has helped along the way. Of course Dudley being a huge influence on the design, and the rest of the team that makes them so perfectly. And than of course Pete D. who is just amazing to deal with :D. I'll try and post some pics whenever I can get my hands off this beauty, and I will really try to make some videos for you guys as well which I have said before about the Luke but never did hahaha.

Now it's a matter of time for the ASS to come in, which I am also really looking forward to because I've never had a piezo equiped geetar! Should be a nice quilt too since I ordered it before the upgrade top option was canceled :D.

Rob,

I'm glad it arrived safely! I put solid saddles on my AL, and love it even more now! (The 20th has a piezo so it has solid saddles already). Lemme know if you want me to hook you up with those, too ;)


And post some pics already, willya???!!

Benchmark meaning that all others will need to stand up to it?

Lucky man. :D

I choose to think of it as Benchmark meaning "Bad as Hell Baby!!!" The inspiration for all future inspirations. The one that makes the best impression. Or, if you choose, it is the one that intimidates.
You know,... my guitar.

The 20th SIlo is a benchmark guitar for us. I am playing the koa one at home now and it is really nice

BP anytime you get a whole lot of Koa, pretty please make some more 20th's with it!!!!! I loved the look of it, and of course those who played it say its amazing.

Here's hoping for a very limited BFR run in the future!!!! But i guess seeing as the 20th was last years thing, it may not happen again, and maybe rightly so.

A benchmark in "Biznith" means that all other guitars will now be compared to the 20th.....it marks a point in time in a company's life when something outstanding happened or great R&D gains were made that changes the way a company makes things forever etc etc...

Foggy just wait till you are under pressure to produce "the pics" when your time comes!!!!!

If I'm able to meet some of the guys at the Guitar Shop, I'm sure they'll have posted pics first! Especially since I'll have a 3-4 hour drive home.
