Help me pick the color of my new Silhouette

[Ahess86]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forums but a long-time EBMM player. Right now I'm playing an axis super sport, quilted maple in natural.

I'm about to order a Silhouette HSH and need some color help.. I'm down to either:

Egyptian Smoke/black perloid/rosewood/plain hs
OR
Graphite Pearl/black perloid/rosewood/plain hs

If anyone has pictures of (any model) either of these combos and could post them I'd greatly appreciate it. Other pick guard options are ok as well. None of my local dealers have any models in either color and I'd like to see some live examples.

Thanks!

Personally I'd go with the Graphite Pearl with those 2 choices.
Another colour that's similar that you may not have considered or known about is the new Sterling Silver.

These pics are not exact but should help you out a little.

Egyptian Smoke w/ Python Guard

Graphite Pearl w/ Black Pearloid guard

and here's a better shot of the Graphite.

Graphite Pearl, that's the one I chose for my Albert Lee
.

GP for sure!!!

That's a tough call. Both colors look amazing. I know this doesn't help, but neither color will disappoint.

id go with gp, but thats just me tell u the truth u can't go wrong with either =D

 

[Slingy]

Don't rule out black with black perloid. Yumm! They look great together. I have this combination on a T***.

Either of your combinations would look awesome imo.

Just get both!!!!

Thats just the problem... I WANT both!!

But I'm also thinking about another Axis SS w/ MM90's mmmm......

I agree with Foggy...something in a silver-ish hue would look awesome.

More importantly...lets see some pics of that beautiful Natural top on that Super Sport!!

I am thinking GP. EG is an awsome color but it sparkls a bit and not everyone can live with that.

Graphite Pearl with black pickguard would look sweet IMO

Another thing that goes into the decision is that I'm playing under stage lights fairly regularly and would like to have a guitar that really looks killer in multi-color stage lights... and I don't consider a little sparkle to be a bad thing! I've always had a thing for guitars that have something in the gray/silverish range but never owned one.

Thanks for everyone who's provided insight/pics so far. And yes i'll try to get pictures of the natural Axis SS up soon!

OK so I decided to go ahead and get the Egyptian Smoke. Order placed yesterday. I couldn't resist, so I threw an Axis SS MM90 Tobacco Burst in there on the order as well

The countdown starts now!
