Is this a good idea?

[vexed73]

I am thinking about bidding on this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...name=STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=300048316021 .

Would I be biding against any of you and does it look like something is wrong with it? Were the old Silos flat around the horns? I am thinking I would like this just as much as my Wolfgang but with contours and single coils.

Starting price is fair, but I'd hold out for what you really want. Availability seems to run in waves: nothing for awhile and then suddenly they show up. But it's your gig and you might really dig it.

Also curious about the lack of scalloping.

I like that color alot... But I don't think I would get another Floyd. Nothing against the Floyds they are truly a great piece of engineering but. Get on my nerves at times. Damn tension.

 

[vexed73]

I love floyds! Love the fine tuners and locking nut the most. I think I will bid later on but if someone else is planning on it I might refrain.

That ones been up there before, but it never hit the reserves.

Good luck, Glenn |B)

too high i think, plus the floyd is a turn off, for me anyway. Regular EB trems stay plenty in tune.

This is actually the second time it's been up... It was built for Lincoln Brewster back in the late 80's Early 90's as he was Touring with Steve Perry. Lincoln is now a worship leader and contemporary Christian artist at a church about 5 minutes from my house. He's a great guy and has a couple of these if I'm not mistaken.

If i were in the market I'd pick it up... even with the Floyd it's a great guitar.

I think its a cool guitar and i like the colour but that floyd puts me off.

The only thing that worries me is the 10" radius. I really like the wolfgang neck but wish the wolfgang came with the strat contours. I had two Silhouettes in the past and remember really likeing the Special but didnt like the one with the floyd as much as my Luke. The only reason I left EBMM was for the wolfgang's neck. Do you all think the radius would make that big of a difference along with the 24 frets?

 

[robelinda2]

well i think you'll find most here would prefer the EBMM neck, i personally find the wolfie neck hugely inferior to any EBMM neck, the radius i find is much better on the EBMM necks, but dont a few EBMM necks come in 12", the Luke maybe?

 

[vexed73]

Yeah the luke is nice but prefer the shape of the neck on the wolf. I would try an Axis but they would have the same comfort problems the wolf has. I love the body on the luke/Silhouette but like the shape of the wolf neck.

 

[robelinda2]

an Axis neck on a silo body? Might be good!!!!

 

[vexed73]

an Axis neck on a silo body? Might be good!!!!

I would definitely buy one if it came with the locking trem!

 

[Colin]

Is that EBs version of sea foam green?

 

[vexed73]

That seller is a pecker head!! He cancelled my bid. I guess Tenn. to North Carolina is too close. I wouldnt have won anyway but sheesh. I wonder if he wanted to sell it for more and figured no one would buy it for more. Then maybe it is in bad playing shape and doesnt want to sell it to someone that close.

 

[robelinda2]

thats weird, its been on ebay a few times now, maybe he sold it privately.

Maybe Lincoln got wind of the auction and called and wanted his guitar back... ya never know why people end auctions early or cancel bids.

 

[vexed73]

The auction ended just canceled my bid for reason put ship. I think one of the bidders was himm trying to raise the price since there was alot of bid cancelations there at the end. He just didnt want to sell it to me for 615 and thought no one else was going to bid.

 

[robelinda2]

bad luck. greedy sellers.

 

[vexed73]

Look he relisted it. Wonder what happened with the last winner.
