Email customer service- they will email/fax you over the right wiring diagram.

They've been great with me in the past when I've wanted to do the same thing!

Hey Bart
Welcome to the forum - hope you get to join in the fun here.
Nice guitars - I'm glad you're thinking of taking out the EMG, especiially if you don't like the sound.
Your English is just fine don't let that put you off - if we don't understand we'll tel ya !! We all talk a lot of balls here ha!
There are some good guys on the forum who know a thing or two about guitar electrics and I'm sure they'll be along soon to help you.

Not a clue on the wiring. But the Silo on the right is absolutely stunning. Infact, it's inspired me to add one similar to that onto my shopping list, although probably with a maple board.

Good choice!

Thanks but i have it Previous user give me this pickup with this guitar

My second silhouette has JB Jr. in bridge position - this pickup sounds great with this guitar - when i was in record studio i have a lot of guitar (gibson les paul custom, ibanez s2020 prestige, fender stratocaster usa etc...) and every solo i was record on silo with JB. I try both guitars tommorow - i wonder which pickup will be better - JB or original Dimarzio.

thanks

What engl do you play?

I'm currently trying to decide between picking up a Powerball or a Mesa Dual Rec. Main problem being that I can't find any Engl's to play near me!

I have Savage. I has mesa triple rectifier but its not my sound - i cant do stratsound whit this amp. Engl have everything... Mesa is good but for metal music (i donk know what is name heavy music in english). I know a lot of about this amps but i cant say it in english (( I try to record something on my engl in thursday and send here. But Powerball is better than savage. Powerball is great because he has mesa power but he is more universal - he sound good when You play rock/funk/metal/jazz/blues...

its my:

if You have any question i try answer - but problem is whit my english

hehe, I don't know if you speak Polish or do you only know few phrases. I've welcomed him to the forum and said that I've seen his red Silo on the Allegro (sorta polish evil bay, although there is an official e-bay right now but the first one is more popular)
