I thought of this because I sent another member one of my songs that I recorded with a silo special and he could not believe that I got such heavy tones outta it, so I was curious what kind of music you all play and what EBMM guitar you are using to achieve those tones - I use mainly a silo special with a duncan distortion in the bridge and I play in a funk metal band, were like a cross between rage and alice in chains, I have two axis as well but the silo just fits me best, mine sort of sounds like an SG with the pups I put in there...

I still haven't figured out what to call the 'so-called' music I play...however there is a resemblance to the sound a dying deer makes...

Yeah...EM[W]...that's a great description for my playing too. A friend of mine said one of my tunes sounded like "Chet Atkins on acid"...(which is very insulting to Chet, but a huge compliment for me...)
I play a Steve Morse model (see avatar) and am anxiously awaiting Y2D next month. Mainly I play into my digitech gnx3- I record little blurbs and practice soloing and that sort of thing.

sam*ck nylon - the action is a bastard and its as low as it can go and its higher than my mat*n, i used to play flamenco, well i still could i just dont anymore

I play many different styles - Progressive Hard Rock/Metal (no Nu Metal), A little Jazz, a lot of Fingerstyle, White Boy Blues ala SRV, and I'm learning Country from one of my buds right now. I've been able to get almost every sound I need out of my Petrucci model, I even figured out that the Piezo sounds a lot like a single coil when it's fed through the overdriven channel, and when you mix it with the middle position - you get a believeable strat sound.
It's definitely a Metal machine, though, no question there. After I replace my Amp, next on the list is a good single coil guitar - maybe a silo with and SSS if they're still available.
