Have the Silhouettes ever been made in natural colour (any pics) ?

[Philip]

Hi,

just wondering if the older silos (from the 90's) were made in natural color (like the basses). I know that there were some transculent (sp?) colors back then offered on silos but I have never seen the natural. Does any of you have any picks maybe?

cheers,

Philip

Hi rob,
thx for the info on the silo..

how about luke?have anyone ever heard about natural finish on luke?

 

[robelinda2]

a natural Luke would be something!

you know, ive not been into the natural balls ive seen, like the ASS'es, but lately they look unreal to me, for no reason! especially the ones with crazy birdseye necks. I have a massive hankering for a natty ASS, where there was no GAS before.

I've always liked natural finishes, and would love either an AL or Silo Special with one. Luke could be killer too. I suspect it could get complicated, though, matching a clear coat body with an oiled maple neck.
