Any sort of Silent Circuit aftermarket equivalent?

[Astrofreq]

I have to say the Silent Circuit technology is brilliant. It just works so well that I wish I could install it in all my single coil guitars? I know EBMM doesn't sell them alone, but is there any sort of aftermarket alternative? I would buy several if EBMM sold one that could be installed in a guitar. Thanks for any tips.

They did sell them at one point ... I remember Pete D had them for sale. Maybe drop them a line and see?

I have also bought a bunch from various people that ripped them out, so you can probably find them used if you keep an eye out. (Put something in the WTB thread.)

It's a great implementation. I haven't seen a commercial product that does it the same way.

Yes, call or email. The older version that is in the Silhouettes and Albert Lee may be possible (they certainly won't sell the circuit board with the Cutlass style).

I wonder if you can get an older board from LIII transition.

Thanks everyone. I’ll start hunting. I didn’t know they ever sold them.

Edit: I’m seeing past listings of these https://reverb.com/item/64488506-er...are&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=64488506

I wonder how hard they are to install? I know they require a 9v.

Easy to install. I can walk you through it. Or look at the wiring diagram for the SSS AL, etc.

Thanks Beej, if I can track one down, I will definitely hit you up for some tips.

In case anyone is interested, C.S. doesn't sell them alone.

Ah nuts. Ok, well hopefully you can find one elsewhere.

No problem : you buy a guitar with the silent circuit, you keep the silent circuit and you send me the rest ... fbecir Paris FRANCE !

Perfect! Do you have a preference of colors?
