I caught the Eagles show last night at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Steuart Smith played several EBMM's.

This is my best guess as to what he played, viewing from afar:

1. A vintage burst P-90 Axis, which Smith used to imitate steel guitar sounds. Amazing.
2. A 2-hum cherry burst Silo with chrome covered pickups. Used for more distorted solo work.
3. A couple Silos (one black), with no middle pickup. Used for harder rock work.
4. Last but not least, the white double neck Silo for playing hotel California. Sounded great on the twelve or the six string neck. (Pic below!))

The EBMM guitars used were noticeably better sounding than any of the other guitars used, by any of the Eagles, such as their Strats, Teles, or Les Pauls. But I must say Joe Walsh's black Rickenbacker used for slide sounded pretty good too.

That is a seriously beautiful instrument. And a great photo.

I really like the Silo Double Neck. I accept the fact that I will never own one.

Those pics are amazing. Especially the one where the guy is sitting behind the mix table(s) :D

NorM, if you order another Silo from me, I would be willing to glue the bodies together and make you a double-neck :D:eek::eek:
Would one be a 12 string?
