I left work early yesterday so I could crack open the box and find this . . . .

Silo Special HSS with trem in Carbon Blue Pearl. My first non-humbuker, non-Axis EBMM. I played it this morning, and I am blown away by how good this guitar feels and plays. The trem is rock solid . . really great system. And the pickup combo is really well balanced. Position two is great. Almost the Clapton "woman tone" just by flicking the switch. The other kicker was, I didn't have a 9V battery in for the silent circuit . . . . it sounded great without it!!!

Congrat on the Silo Special !

[brentrocks]

[tommyindelaware]

it will stay in tune better if you put the strings on properly.

Thanks, I just noticed that. I plugged in and played it the way it was when I took it out of the case.

One restringing coming up . . . .

Very nice. Where did you buy it? I'm wondering how that stringing error got past anyone.

LOL!!! Those things are barely hanging on.

Congrats Tony,

+1.
I still love that colour. It just won't leave me alone.
It's nice to be seeing some proper CBP Silo pics.
They were pretty scarce for a while.

 

[glockaxis]

beautiful color!!

 

[fogman]

I think you need to do some family shots!

[satriani17]

Very nice guitar!

 

[Spudmurphy]

Great looking with the white pearloid.
Nice buy!

 

[TonyEVH5150]

thanks guys . .

I got it from a newish forum member danyeo. He told me had a tech do a setup on it. I think the guy might have been more used to F***ders. I'll tell ya, the tuning was all over the place!!!!

Even though the E-G strings are wound on the tuners backwards, it still stays in tune very well. maybe a little wavering, but pretty solid.

I'll post some family pics in a while. I've got a guitar to restring.

*drool*...my dream silo! Congrats man!

 

[Lefty_SS]

thats awsome, i cant remember what a clean maple fretboard looks like anymore..now I know what mine should look like

 

[TonyEVH5150]

I hit it with a wonder wipes fretboard conditioner wipe before I took the pics. I'm going to do a more thorough cleaning when I change my strings.

Now if I could just leave work . . . . . .

 

[robelinda2]
