I'm off to Tokyo for my annual holiday with the wife. After trying to justify another ball with resistance, she's given up and left me to my own devices.

So, I'm out for these 3 models I KNOW I can pick up easily in Tokyo. Will go to Chiyoda for the first time and check out the ball agent there for stock.

It will be:

Silhouette Special (for sure), in SSH and trem. RW it is (though I'm tempted to go for maple.) But this time, there are 3 colours I'm thinking of.

The sunburst is my least fav, simply because I have a sunburst strat, and it's not really a very versatile colour. (imagine bringing a sunburst guitar into a metal gig?)

So... whddya guys think?

I voted white.

The black is awesome and a classic and all, but that white with the rw looks sweet

I like Sunburst (I wouldn't be afraid to bring it to a /m\etal gig), but after that white is the next best..... but don't you already have a SS in white?

Ohh . You gotta hang off to get one of the new colours. YOu know it is going to be a fantastic player so buy the baby blue unseen!

Sorry a bit of a spanner in the works,

I'd say white looks the best of those three, but there's also something cool about a basic black guitar. In fact, I think an all black Silo (black PG, PU covers, knobs...) is a cool idea.

My vote out of those three goes to the white, however, put a maple board on the black one and I might have to reconsider...

No love for the sunburst here..

Of these, white would be my choice. I'd like the black or the sunburst better with maple. I have a sunburst and maple Silo Spec, its a good looking guitar, but sunburst is not at all one my favorites.

Keith, to do that, I need to get a divorce first...:p It was a birthday gift from my wife. This was BEFORE I started playing Balls.

Anyways, I already have one white SS. Should I go for another one? or try black this time... decisions... decisions. And while I do like the new colours, I'm still a classic roots kinda guy.;)

Then black it is!

I love the new colors and all too, but that black one is awesome. It really is none more black.
