Question Any Pickguard and Knobs Suggestions for my Desert Gold Silo???

[Jerry Jim]

hey guys,


thanks for so much response! I guess you're kinda right with the point the silo is quite nice how it is already, but I was just wondering about something new... or even cooler.

But I really dislike the knobs, actually. Are the petrucci knobs separately available? Maybe even in white or chrome?

@ e.mate: hey dude, didn't know you have a silo this similar!

and... the pickguard heaven does not have the original colors, right? All the have (at least what I found) is not really my cup of tea... and pretty expensive, as well.

COOLER??? Heelllllllooooooooo....what could be cooler than WHITE ICE?

Sorry....I don't know that. But you could get some cool knobs from Q-Parts (they have all sorts of inlays, also in white

@ e.mate: hey dude, didn't know you have a silo this similar!.

Yapp....that's the reason why I got struck down by your avatar. I thought I had a unique Silo, didn't expect some young dude from around the corner to have the same axe...except for the PG

True, they cost quite some money, for standard color schemes....but they're exact replacements. There are a couple of others, who might actually make a PG from a tracing....I remember WD-Parts in the UK doing MM-Replacements. But that's quite a while ago...

Jerry, they might still have the PG that your looking for in stock, of the discontinued variety. Contact your local music store, or email CS and see how you can get what you might be looking for.

I wouldn't change the chrome tele style knobs man, they look great!!!

+1 Dan at CS said that their is LOTS of stock....simply because it didnt sell hahahaha

Hey there,

I talked to Dan and he said that I can get whatever I want, at least for right now.

sooo, I'm thinking about Gold Swirl, Orange Swirl, Python and even Blue Swirl.

Blue swirl is kinda cool, but maybe tooo extreme, huh? I think python is my favorite...

 

[browndog]

I rather like the orange swirl with chrome knobs.

Who told you that? Untrue for the Silo...

Sorry e.mate, didn't see your response -- thanks for responding. I assumed that's what was meant by "Optional - Piezo bridge with solid" on the silo special page. I take it by your response trem models (silo, silo special, axis, ass) can be ordered with trem + piezo? COOL.

While we're on the topic ... Can the 25th or any of the BFR models (aside from the JP) be ordered with trem + piezo? <probably should have made this question it's own thread>

I'll take that to be a no.

I'm not sure about the Silo Special....for the Axis definitely NO; as far as I know there's definitely no piezo option for any FR trem.
For ASS and Silo a definite YES

You cry, but NO
