Ain't she sweet!

Took 5+ months to get it, but it was well worth the wait. This is absolutely the best looking, playing, and sounding guitar I have ever laid hands on. It is an incredible instrument. Even my keyboard player commented on how great it sounds! :)

Oh yeah, the little spot between the knobs and the switches was just a little bit of lint that I didn't see before I took the pics. Someday, I'll put it down long enough to take some more photos. :D

There are a couple more photos here if y'all want to see 'em.

BP and crew - you folks have outdone yourselves, this is one helluva guitar! Thanks guys!

Also, I gotta say thanks to Pete Dubaldo, he's a great dude to do business with. I know where my next Balls will be coming from... ;)

It is a wonderful axe I can not say enough about it!

Thanks all!

For those of you that have one on the way, prepare to be amazed. I can't get over how incredibly easy it is to play and how good it sounds.

I wasn't sure at first, because it feels so much different than my previous #1 - my Axis SS, but after a couple of hours playing it I'm spoiled for any other guitar. The rest of the household guitar fleet have all sat neglected over the last week or so.

One question - can anyone tell me how the neck on the 20th Silo compares to the neck on an AL and on a Luke? Those two are next up on the Ball Acquisition List. :)

The neck on the Luke is fantastic, so easy to play, I may be wrong but the neck on the Luke seems a little smaller, the feel of the 20th neck and the Luke are very similar at least to me.

Tristan - It's WELL worth the wait! I'll be looking for more recordings of your excellent playing, showcasing the 20th Silo once you receive it. ;) :)

Rob - thanks for the info! Sounds like the necks on the AL and Luke are right up my alley. Now, to convince the wife that I need more Balls...
