A few EBMM question....

[southpawmax]

Hi guys, I'm new, but i have a few questions about EBMM guitars. I ordered my Silhouette Special wayyyy back in December, and it shipped from the factory today, but I totally forgot if I specified to get a case or not. Do cases come standard? Also, do any places sell pickguards for these guitars or would I have to cut my own/have a custom one cut?
Thanks

To my knowledge, all EBMM guitars come with a case except the discontinued SUB model.

You will get a case but I don't know anything about pickguards.

You can purchase pickguards through your local EBMM dealer!

Welcome, Southpaw, and congrats on your new Silo Special.

We Silo owners don't get any special pins, hats, t-shirts or secret handshakes, like the AL guys here have. We do enjoy playing one fine guitar, though.

I replaced a factory pickguard on a Silo not long ago.

PS: There's a saying here - it doesn't exist without pictures. So, when you get it be sure to show it off here!

 

[southpawmax]

Oh trust me, I will do nothing but show it off! I am so excited for it to finally be coming!

As a non AL owner I can't divulge the secrets of the "funny handshake" but I can say "Welcome to the Forum" - look forward to seeing pics of your Silo.

IT CAME!
I got a call at 9 am that woke me up telling me my guitar had arrived. After work, I rushed over to Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center to get it. I am floored. This is one of the sexiest guitars I have ever seen, and it plays amazing aswell! pics:

A wefty! Really nice, man. Enjoy it.

very sexy guitar indeed. infact it is so stunning it's tempting me not to stay monogamous with my Silo...I think I have to steal yours.

Really you do not see that much red in a and variation in other 3 tone sunbursts..thats awsome!

 

[southpawmax]

so after non-stop playing, i dont know what to say about this guitar. i mean, is there any tone you cant get with it? i think i am in love.

You do know it will never, ever look out of date? Vintage Burst with HSS...you got it right mate....timeless.
Stunning guitar, Congrats.
