And more pics please Foggy ?

[Purple ASS]

Please (Foggy )....I'd like to see photos of pickguard combinations with a Black Silo, particularly the abalone and toroise. Got the EBMM pics from Instrument builder, but would like to see more some 'live shots' Thanks

Do a search.
If you can't find them, let me know.

Thank you...I'm loving the abalone

 

[fogman]

You're welcome!
You might consider the Moonstone as well. Sort of like the Abalone, but not as "pretty".

 

[Purple ASS]

So what is the difference to moonstone and black pearl ? They seem pretty similar.

 

[fogman]

Moonstone has more swirl with a hint of blue tones mixed in

 

[fogman]

Black Pearloid is just black and gray. The pattern is more traditional.

moonstone is way cool, i must have a moonstone guard on an Al one day!

Thanks guys ...I have a black HSS Silo Special w/ rosewood board & natural headstock on order with a tortoise p/g...I'm now stewing about calling to change to abalone. I'd love to see that exact guitar (e.g., rosewood and natty) before I do...

Foggy to the rescue as usual

Foggy, I just emailed in the change to my dealer, so if all goes well (meaning, my delivery date doesn't slip as a result), I can show you pics of one in February!

Purple, I'm glad you started this thread. I like the abalone way more than the tort after looking at Foggy's pics (thanks to you to, Foggy).

Off topic, how's the new Lone Star treating you? I got to spend all day yesterday and today with mine, I've never been this happy with an amp. I went the Andy Timmons route and plunked an Xotic BB Preamp in front of it, the thing is really alive now. I have several amps for sale now...

I agree having seen the pics. I also like the Moonstone that Foggy posted. I've now emailed Strings and Things over here to see if they can source either for me. I can get the Abalone sent over from Pickguard Heaven , but they don't list the moonstone.

Re: the Lonestar. Not had much opportunity to experiment much, although I did gig it on NYE. Overall very impressed but I didn't suss out till later that the 'solo boost' function doesn't operate without the FX loop switched in so I spent a fair bit of the gig on my knees in front of it scratching my head (we've all done that I'm sure lol ) I also need to lift it or get a cab to go under. (may just sit my other extension cab that I use with my DC3 on top) My hearing is shot to bits after years of gigging , I can't hear a thing when it's on the floor and I hate to hear it through monitors.) I'm out with it tomorrow night so I'll find some time to play before I leave for the gig. I'd be interested to hear more about the BB preamp. I'm using the Seymour Duncan pickup booster which I guess will have a similar effect. the SD sounds wicked with the Albert Lee !
