I only see one video on YouTube video of these, & I'm on the fence for one of these, but have only played an SSS ( not amped though). Am wondering about an hss.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thnx

This is a great request, I too would love to hear the Silo Special with rosewood neck through an amp. Clean sounds in every position would be good for if you could do that.

I'd do that but I've changed the pickups so it won't help.
It sounds amazing with the stock ones, btw.

Oooh, that's a rough one to find as they were rare. You can only find them through the special RW Neck order a couple years back and a few select runs EBMM did for some guitar shows.

I believe a forumite has one one.... was it peter? Can't remember!

Here's some footage of my band the Scarlet Fever playing last month at NXNE in Toronto. I'm playing a black HSS silo special with rosewood fretboard through some kind of Metal oriented amp which was provided for me... Had some problems getting a good clean tone out of it so almost everything is distorted more than it should be and theres way more treble than I would ever use. The song starts on a clean modulated delay using the neck PU, then the rest I believe I switched over to the bridge. Also this looks like it was recorded on a cel phone or digital cam so the sound is top endy to start with... Maybe minus 30% of the treble and you have what that guitar should sound like! Lol I think you want a solid rosewood, but I'm guessing that might be hard to find samples of, so until then there's this.

Anyway hope that helps.
