Found a 20th Silo for anyone interested

[pjc812]

The Guitar Emporium in Louisville KY has a 20th silo with a tasty flame top and rw fb for a excellent price. I drove down there today to specifically check out that guitar cuz I've heard so much about them. Pretty nice piece! The neck was a fine example of Birdseye and felt splendid. It had a nice, resonant acoustic tone unplugged. Unfortunately I didn't have time to plug it in but I'm sure it sounded marvelous. I did like the multi-layered body, very sexy.

I do wonder though if somebody from EB should call them about the state of their basses which are mostly in pretty rough shape. All of them except for a 2007 LE Sterling (EXCELLENT playing bass) and a white SR5HH were filthy and in desperate need of neck adjustments. I almost asked for a tool with which to tweak them but once again didn't have time. Other issues on other guitars (like a broken string on a Silo hanging on the wall) which need attention but those were the ones most worth mentioning.

I spoke with the store the other day when the thread came up. It's a nice looking 20th at a decent price, but it is used. The guy at the store was helpful to talk to and said they were the original seller and the purchaser was a local doctor that doesn't gig and goes through a variety of gear so there is minimal wear. They got it back last month If you e-mail them they'll send you a photo.

so what if it is slightly used? Got mine just like this (via Da-Bay) from one of our fellow forumites - the shape she was in was so perfect, I could care less it was not "new". What I could care for though, was the price reduction I got because of it.

Just my 2 cents, but that's a killer price for that killer guitar!
