Guys..... I'm one of you now.

I posted this a little while back in a thread called "What would you change about your fav musicman guitar?"

What would I change about my favourite musicman guitar?


I'd change the fact that I don't have one.

As a poor student, (17) I thought it might be some time before that actually happened.

However, THE perfect specimen came up used on ebay,

Candy red Silo with maple neck, it was £850 and I knew I had to have it.

A little wrangling later, and I've bought it. It's on its way to me. I need to cash a cheque, and send the paypal payment, but then its mine.

I can't actually wait.

I start music college on Thursday, and the guitar should arrive shortly after. I feel like this guitar is going to be the guitar for the next chapter of my musical journey.

I'll post pics when it arrives, but honestly, I can't wait.


tl;dr: Bought first musicman, coming soon, AWESOME.

congrats on the new guitar- you will be very happy with the silo- i actually just finished playing mine 4-5 minutes ago. Great pick up!

Hey Thanks! Welcome!

 

[fbecir]

Welcome aboard !

Congrats on the Silo, and also going to music college. The only advice I can give you is to find your own voice on the guitar, and be as original as possible. Who knows in a few years you and that red Silo may shake up the world.

Congrats....and welcome aboard

And don't forget the pics - as you might have already read here before, the guitar doesn't exist without them

Stick around!

 

[ScoobySteve]

Don't buy it. You might start thinking about your next one. I was in your shoes. Finally got one, and I just can't wait to bring in the dough to get my next one!!!

 

[SirVoltage]

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

A thanks to Big Poppa and co for these instruments.


I know the rules, no pics = no guitar, of course, I hope the guitar is real, especially after seeing that money just leave my paypal.

Anyone know anything about UK knuckleheads sourcing a black pickguard, without having to get one custom made?

Expected date is Friday this week, this wait is unbearable.

But I won't say that when I order a new one down the line. THAT wait will be unbearable.

ScoobySteve, guitars should be safe for now, its an amp next, slowly just upgrading my rig. After that though, its gonna be a lifetime of abuse of my wallet.

SirVoltage,
I think you are going to be just fine.
Carry on with your strong work.

17 ??? Man that's cool, I didn't get a MM until I was twice that old +1.

Silos are the best, you'll love it.
