Here's a Benji

Does the Benji have a unique body shape? It doesn't look quite like any of the other EBMMs. Closest seems to be a Silo. Kind of like it's somewhere between a JP and Silo. Looks nice, I think.

Oh...does the Silo Special have a different body from the Silo?

Yes... The horns are slightly shorter, among other tiny differences. Dudley and Sterling actually went back and redesigned the basic body when they made the Silhouette Special - they didn't just slap a 22-fret neck on a Silhouette body, adjust the routes and call it a day...
;)

I lilke the Benji - it's sooo simple, and that appeals to me... Of course, I don't need one, but it's cool...

is his signature on the headstock? Id love a new Silo at that price but if it has his name on it and that inlay I dont think Id buy it.

Dude, don't worry about Benji's signature or logo on the guitar, it's a great deal and if you like it, get it.

It's a tweaked Silo Special.

I know but its the guy from good charlotte's sig guitar:( That depresses me greatly. If it was a non sig Silo it would be mine!
 
Yah so, he may not be your cup of tea, but man he digs the same kind of quality instruments as you and I and everyone else that comes here.

It's a great price, but if your not into it, your not into it.

Well then I guess it won't be yours.

Shame if you wanted one at a good price, because it's the same fantastic MM quality that you see in all of their guitars ;)
 
I don't know the first thing about Benji or his band, but I played one of those guitars at the Open House and it kicked ass! It feels so.. SOLID.

I'd play it.
