Does anyone know what's so special about the 2007 Limited Edition of the Silhouette Special? My local dealer can offer me this guitar for a very attractive price. I think i will buy this one, because it is 200€ cheaper than the regular Silhouette Special.

You better buy this, because the price is so much cheaper than a regular one, but the color is 10x more special!!!

Here's mine ;) :

Silo, or silo special are indeed great on this one. But for me, the closest I get to that fingerpickcking sound of Mark Knopfler is the standard Morse.

Of course it has to do with the twangy single coils, which shine through on a really good clean amp. But it also is the stop tail which, at least to me, gives a bit more tension on the strings, which is exactly right for fingerpicking. I mean, just listen to what Steve does with his fingers on this guitar.

You're still going to need a Les Paul, no disrespect to MM.

Just sayin'.

That's where a piece like this comes in... The closest to an LP tone I can get without getting an LP:

hmmm... a les paul sounds very different to the 20th. the 20th is the closest you can get to a les paul sound from ebmm but the 20th is a unique guitar which is great.

when we play brothers in arms i pick up my 58 les paul vos and i am in les paul tone heaven. and usually i don´t like gibson at all but the custom shop vos line is really great.
