Any one else still rockin' their 20th Anniversary Silhouette?

[paranoid70]

Nope, not a NGD, not for a long time - I've had this Silhouette for quite a while. I must say, Music Man really nailed it when they made the 20th Silhouettes. Our cover band plays alot of different stuff from Metallica, Ozzy, CCR, Beatles, The Doors and this guitar seems to just fit right in no matter what. I just love playing this guitar, I wouldn't change a thing about it.

yeah still rockin mine

Still rocking mine! I do think that it is their best guitar ever. It's been my number one since I got it (the year they came out).

I wish I has a 20th to rock Eric. Hell, I wish I had a band to rock in.
I have to admit, your story about not joining a band until later in life was pretty inspirational to me. There is still hope for me yet. Haven't played in front of a crowd in about 17 years, lol.

Nice guitar, as Dan would say…

gorgeous guitar!

I wouldn't mind rocking a 20th either... Maybe there will be something special in the form of a Monster PDN this year.

There's a REALLY nice 20th in the for sale thread....

Yes sir. Still loving my 20th Silhouette. I still play it out, and it is really a stellar guitar.

​

I always wondered why EBMM didn't do the 20th Silh with the same contours on the horns as a normal Silhouette, and having the quilt top be 3/4" deep so that the whole top is quilt. Looks like they went with this modified body shape so that the figured top could be 1/8" thin. Would have been killer (akin to a PRS). Having said all that, I just LOVE this guitar!

Someone will pick that one up but for me it's not a good fit due to price.

I really loved the sound of mine when I had it, but sadly I didn't love the neck profile.

My first gig I was 15 and I played my brothers bass (haven't played the bass since). My second gig I was 36 and played my Silhouette Special!

I have one but sadly it has never been rocked. I picked it up new in 08` from a dealer who had it in a vault. It is just rock'n in it's case, original and un-played.
