Call me crazy, but I can't get the 20th out of my head.

I haven't tried one of these, but man, just looking at the thing--it's gorgeous. Some nice pics here: http://www.gbase.com/Powered/GearDetails.aspx?Dealer=6db8a458-a165-4add-9847-7da43608278c&Item=1536122

I'm generally more of a quilt fan, but still...this is beautiful. I'm going to have to hope that the thing is still at the store when I'm in Chicago for a convention in the middle of October. I've definitely got to try this thing.

When is the 20th Anniversary of the Silo Spec?

 

[Katana6506]

That's a nice one (read: you just gave me GAS! ), and Make'n Music is a great store too.

I'm a quilt fan too, but there is "no shame in flame"

[robelinda2]

[roburado]

Have you got your 20th silo yet?

Looks like a great axe, man if l wasn't spending all my money on a new amp, l'd get a new ball.

mmm, l guess l've had my head up my ass

Sometimes l don't get to come in these forums for a couple of days and l miss alot of threads.

I hope you enjoy it, l wanted to get a Dargie Delight Luke, but didn't have the money for one. DAMN!!!!!

mate i'm dying for a DD Luke, it was so hard to choose between it and a DD silo special SSS, decided i love my luke enough so i'll go for the Silo. plus 2007 will be Luke III year, so i'll nab me one of those when they come out, flame maple top, oh yes!!!!

Not a real bucker fan, but Geeze these things just beg to be played.

Rob, how much 20th Ann. time are you putting in? Which Ball are you playing most, and why?

 

[robelinda2]

to be brutally honest, the 20th silo isnt getting loads of love. My silo special is my number one go-to axe, versatility to the max, just a great understated guitar. 2nd would be the Luke. the rest just get the left over time. the last few days i've been trying to bond with the Y2D, its the least favourite so far, but ive made great strides with it now, and i like it a lot more. its hard to work out sometimes what a guitar can do for you, especially an artist model axe, which is suited so much to the artist!!

This is what I've found so far. I keep finding myself drifting back to a JP pretty quickly whenever I pick the Y2D up.

I think you need to force yourself out of the comfort zone sometimes to really find out whether a new geetar is going to ultimately suit you or not.

 

[robelinda2]

gosh its hard laborious work, but i guess i'll keep trying.

hangin for my honeyburst piezo Axis SS, any day now!!!!!

Yeah l might have to nab one of those Luke III. But l so wanted a DD Luke, but oh well, l need a new amp.

Makes a lot of sense, Rob. I thought the Y2D would take some time to bond with, but once dialed in could pull off what the others can't. Love to get my hands on a 20th to try for myself. But like yourself, I think my Silo's would still get most of my attention. Never owned a more versitile guitar. If I started from scratch, designing "my own" guitar, it would wind up a Sil Sp. Still, that 20th has me itchin'.

 

[robelinda2]

A Silhouette Special would be my "Desert Island" axe for sure, it does everything. so comfortable to play. not the best looking i must say, i much prefer the looks of all my other balls, but it still wins, cos it just sounds so good!!!!!!

Rob, I guess it just depends what ya like. I’ve never been one for fancy, pretty tops do little for me. To be honest, I’m even a little embarrassed by how beautiful my autumn burst looks. lol
