I've told this before, and I'll tell it again.
My introduction to EBMM was not related to any artist. In fact, I was into JP when he was with Ibanez (Images & Words). EVH was a bit later, when I realised he's using a tele-looking guitar with a floyd in the F.U.C.K. album.
No. I started one fine (almost 15 years ago) day walking into the local dealer's shop, and seeing a gorgeous Silhouette in black sparkle, and heavy birdseye maple neck/fretboard, pearloid guard and natty headstock. Amongst all the Tom Andersons, Ibanezes, Fenders and Gibsons around it, I thought that was the most beautiful guitar I had ever seen. (I wish I could custom order this. I'd be all over this in a jiffy!!!!).
I didn't know what it was at that time. All I knew is I wanted to have it. But when I finally got round to getting enough cash, it was sold.
So, when I was ready, I went after the JP6 as a no.1 choice. And tried to relive that Silhouette dream once again, but that didn't turn out too nice. So, 3 20th Anniversary Silos and a few more balls later, I'm still gassing for that elusive 1st Silo
Now, I can pretty much afford any EBMM (minus Mr Horsepower and Global Warming)... But This is the one EBMM I truely desire, but cannot have...
