I bought a used Music Man Silhouette back in '95 or so, my first electric guitar. I have picked up an American-made Peavey Wolfgang Special goldtop since then, a Fender Classic 50's Strat in sunburst, and a 1982 Fender Strat hardtail. Despite the undeniable quality behind the Music Man, with the direction I am going, I need to purchase a Tele.
First, since I bought it used, I would like to know a bit about the guitar. The serial # is 89243. It has a birdseye maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and a 6 bolt neck. There is a floating trem system, which strings through, and locks only behind the nut (not a Floyd Rose). It's a black finish, with a black 3-ply pickguard, and the pickup configuration is HSH. Does anyone know anything else?
It is in good to fair condition. This was my main electric guitar for years before I picked up my Wolfgang, so it got some use. From the front, the guitar looks good. There are some dings, but only a couple, extremely small ones have actually gone through the finish. The sides and back have a couple more dings, which have gone through the finish, but are not visible to anyone while you are playing the instrument.
There are two small dings that look like hyphen's on the back of the neck (where the birdseye is) between the second and third frets, and it looks as though someone stuck something to the back of the headstock (a holder for an allen wrench possibly?) which has sense been removed, and marked the finish in the process.
The instrument is strung with 10's, intonnated to be tuned down a 1/2 step, and plays like a dream. In fact, it might even play slightly better than my Wolfgang, I just prefer the sound, and overall feel of the Wolfie. The only noticable buzz I hear at all is on the 3rd string, 11th fret, and it doesn't interfere with plugged in paying in the slightest.
This instrument would look great with a white pearl pickguard, and knobs and caps, with white face pickups. I ordered a white pearl pickguard, and white knobs and caps in at one time when I thought about changing pickups, but I never changed pickups, and now I've decided I will most likely sell it. If I do, I will search for the pickguard and knobs and caps and if I find them, include then with the guitar.
I have seen Silhouettes go for $400-$500 used on ebay in good - great shape, so I am not quite sure what to ask for this puppy. I have yet to seen one sell online with the floating trem system mine has. Any help, or interest is appreciated! Thanks in advance.
