First Silhouettes

[Ballbuster]

Anyone have an early silhouette - 86 or 87?

Why? Are you looking for pictures?

No. Wondered what the earliest serial number Silhouette is still out there.

That's cool, you might want to check the Serial Number Sticky.

has anyone played one of the first silo's? do they have the same size neck...? and spec's as they do now? thanks..

I have a 1987. Neck is much the same except no locking tuners - had a locking bar. Biggest difference is pickups. They were all Schallers. No hum canceling electronics.

I've owned an 88, 90, 93, and 03 silhouette. Prefer the 87, only one I still have.

Best sounding EB guitar I've ever owned is the Albert Lee with MM90's. I converted it to a 2 pickup model. WOW! those pickups have power that blasts even the humbuckers.
