Am I the only one who doesn't really get the looks of the 20th Silo?

I love these negative threads

It is actually hurtful, but only to us dreamers who don't own a 20th. Oh, the pain.

My dream 20th: Quilt top, hardtail, piezo, natural headstock. No preference on the rosewood/maple fretboard because I haven't ever owned a maple fretboard axe, so can't pass judgment.

When the 20ths first came out I thought they looked different, yet cool in their own way. I must admit I was a bit taken aback by the reduced chamfer on the horns, but with the maple top and binding I understand why this was done. I drooled over the figured tops & the double-secret mahogany tone block and I knew that these guitars would be a tone monster.

The 20th is hands-down the best sounding guitar I have heard. I didn't buy one for the looks, I bought it for the tone, and it has never let me down. This guitar set a benchmark for EB, and you need to play one to truly understand the magnificence.

Those are indeed nice. But I personally don't like the metal covers. I think the covers would look great on an Axis, but the silhouette I think doesn't go well with these covers.

But that's me...

Hey Tim...does it have a quilt with a rosewood neck?

I want to say it was flamey with a maple neck. However, I am going to make a telephone call tomorrow and find out. Then I can tell you all for sure and not be a liarpants.

Something also tells me that there were two there... one was rosewood. I relaly need to call now.

This thread IS really negative . . . . in that EBMM doesn't make them anymore. All of the sudden, I'm jonesing for one . . . .

time to call Pete again .. . .

The 20th Ann. Silo and the first JP6 BFR proto sold me on the BFRs. After seeing and hearing them and playing the 20th, man...there was no choice whatsoever. I had to have a BFR.
