Dude, looks good, see I personally think the white pups look much better.

Nice job, Glenn |B)

Tremelo-No too... very versatile!

 

[MusicManJP6]

Looks nice! I'd love to have a Silo...

How do you like that Tremol-no? Was it hard to install? I'm about to install one in my Custom Peavey...

Pretty easy to install. I watched the utube video a few times. Took all of 20 min.

I like the idea of the tremol no - might have to get one of those.

 

[Smellybum]

lots better - good job

 

[Progdude]

Thanks for the nice comments guys!


1 question. The green sticker on the back on the tone pot was stamped with a date. Is that the "Born on Date"?

 

[luv]

white pups better for sure....now, about that "aged" pickguard....

I personally would go for wht/blk/wht 3ply, white pearloid, or blk/wht/blk 3 ply. Just letting the party out of my head.

I'm really itching for a Silo (so I'm jealous), but not in the finances right now. Curious how that middle single sounds.....strat like?

love the all maple neck with white body!

I too really like the white pups much more than black pups in a white guard. And the trem device looks and probably works great too. Although I've never had a problem with an EBMM trem without blocking it. The aged guard looks great too, really goes well with the maple board. The pearl tuner knobs are a nice touch. Congrats on a great looking Silo man.

And I'll be letting you guys see what a plain white guard on a white/maple silo looks like here in a couple of days...

Are you going to join the SOC club? (Silhouette Owners Club) Or do we need to start one?

 

[travs]

that is super neat. White is a perfect color for the custom silo. enjoy.

Looks great!

I like that much better (and want your guitar).

What does a trem no do? Completely lock the trem? I do that with some of my guitars by putting in 5 springs and cranking them down.

Very tasteful mod!
Love the white pickups and the tuner buttons as well.
Now you are waiting for a white tremolo arm-tip, don't you?

 

[dwells]

awesome i just got me a silo today they smoke!!!

 

[Progdude]

Is there a SOC?

A Tremol No is a 3 function tool.

1 free floating (works as if its not there)
2 Dive only. (if I take that separate fine tuner and move it against the other two it works like the Axis trem does.
3. Fixed. If I tighten down the 2 main thumb screws the trem doesnt move.
They run about $50-60.

I got a trem arm cap today from work. So yea now Im all set!!!!

 

[jamminjim]

Is there a SOC?

Yes there is one established in the Social Groups, however (and moderators please take note) when you click on the SOC link it takes you to the SSOC group. You can't enter the SOC group.

What's up with it?

Beautiful Silo!

Personally, I tend to prefer the contrasting pickups. Still, that thing is gorgeous. Awesome flick!
